Noel Coward wrote “Waiting in the Wings”, his 50th play, as a gift for actress friends he had worked with in his earlier days. “The Wings” is a charity home for retired actresses who bring their dramatic stage talents into their communal living. The play explores ins and outs of daily life within a framework of both the pleasures and sadness of aging. Hanging over the community are the whims of the theater board that runs the home. What ensues is a delightful collection of forceful and dramatic personalities, a long simmering feud, a mysterious journalist, and the tender and heartbreaking realities of losing family and building new relationships.
The San Leandro Players production of “Waiting in the Wings” will take place Saturdays and Sundays at the San Leandro Museum from July 20 through August 24. The cast features Pamela Ball, Miranda Bumstead, Sarah Catherine Chan, John Chapin, Dana M. Fry Ed.D., Imagine Gonzales, Terry Guillory, Marsha Howard, DD Langley, Carole MacKenzie, Laura Martin-Chapin, Siobhan O’Brien, Tiare Pena, Linda Scaparotti, Mark DeWeese.
“Waiting in the Wings” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
PLEASE NOTE: MASKING IS RECOMMENDED. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
