‘Our Town' plays again in Port Jervis

PORT JERVIS, N.Y. — A dramatic reading of Our Town by the American Readers Theatre will be repeated at the First Presbyterian Church of Port Jervis on Saturday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. This production of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize winning play was performed to a sold out audience at Grey Towers, in Milford, in July. A poignant, heart-warming portrayal of life, love, and death in small-town America, it was adopted for a stage reading by Jeffrey Stocker, founder and director of the American Readers Theatre, and captures all the flavor of the original. The actor/reader cast, all from our area, are students in Stocker’s Milford classes for adults and teens. Most of the original cast will be returning in this performance. The cast includes Greg Giblin as the narrator who pulls the story together, and Dick Patterson, Ruth Randone, Stacy Case, Greg Kolvenback, Daniel Banks and others as townspeople of Grover’s Corners, Vermont. The production is sponsored by Presby Players, a presence in local theatre since 1960. For information and reservations call the church at 845-856-1231. A donation of $10 is requested.
