Ghost Light Players Stage Tennessee Williams' 'Summer and Smoke'
Shows will be held March 23 through March 24.
From the Ghost Light Players of Metro West: Ghost Light Players of MetroWest is excited to open their sixth season with Summer & Smoke, a relatively unknown play by treasured American playwright Tennessee Williams. Summer & Smoke follows a high-strung minister’s daughter, and the wild young doctor who is her next door neighbor. The two explore the many facets – romantic, physical, spiritual – of love.
“Summer & Smoke is a beautiful, heartbreaking love story that reaches into the core of human nature,” says the show’s director, Alecia Thomas. “I am absolutely thrilled to work with the actors to bring these characters to life, and to tell this story. The struggle between what our hearts want and what societal norms tell us we ‘should’ want is as old as time, and Tennessee Williams’ words truly bring this universal conflict to life."
The cast of the show includes Bill Novakowski of Ashland, Billy Del Sesto of Framingham, Cathy Koerwer of Sudbury, Chris J.M. Maloney of Princeton, Colin McIntire of Somerville, Colleen Locke of Ashland, David Foster of Bolton, Doug Hodge of Hudson, Dustin Teuber of Salem, NH, Erica Goddard of Northborough, Karen Dinehart of Holliston, Katharine Braun-Levin of Newton, Krystyana Greaves of Ashland, and Stephanie Barney of Sterling.
