  • God's Favorite Continues at the Three Notch Theatre
    God’s Favorite continues at the Three Notch Theatre Posted by TBN Editor On 04/21/2018 Lexington Park, MD - God’s Favorite, a three-act comedy by Neil Simon, runs through April 22 with Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees beginning at 3:30 p.m. presented by the Newtowne Players (NTP). Loosely based on the Biblical Book of Job, the play opened on Broadway on December 11, 1974 and ran for 119 performances with Vincent Gardenia as Joe, and Charles Nelson Reilly as Sidney Lipton. It is set in early March of 1975 within a lavish North Shore Long Island mansion (beautifully re-created for this production by NPT Board of Directors member Dave Kyser, and longtime NTP volunteer Linda Sanborn – at least 2 of Linda’s paintings adorn the set’s living room walls; she has painted over 25 sets at Three Notch Theatre). The mansion is inhabited by the pious Joe (Robert Rausch), his long-suffering wife, Rose (Robin Finnacom), the “twinsies” – Sarah (a perky Mallory Turvey-Manthorne) and Ben (a stoic Lewis Beckley) – , “prodigal son” David (Nick Wood), along with Mady (Millie Coryer-Dhu), the maid, and Morris (Larry Silvestro), the butler. The Act I and Act II set depicts a cozy, comfy, living room with a sofa, a lighted fireplace, a well-stocked bar, and curtained French doors. The play begins on one cold and snowy midnight when a suspected burglar (James LePore) turns out to be messenger-from-God Sidney Lipton, who has come to offer plenty of temptations to Joe to entice him to renounce God.

Moss Solana Beach, CA – THE SUNSHINE BOYS deftly showcases the late Neil Simon’s brilliant ear for sidesplitting dialogue and his sharp eye for physical comedy. Yet beneath the raucous laughter are two vulnerable people struggling to make sense of their lives. North Coast Repertory Theatre has earned numerous accolades by critics and audiences alike for capturing the nuances of Simon’s memorable characters who wrestle with love, loss, work, family and aging. Simon’s plays historically sell out rapidly, so early ticket buying is highly recommended. Jeffrey B. Moss directs Bryan Banville*, Portia Gregory, Phillip Korth, Samantha Roper, James Sutorius*, John Tessmer, and Lenny Wolpe*, in THE SUNSHINE BOYS. The design team includes Marty Burnett (Resident Scenic Designer), Matthew Novotny (Lighting), Elisa Benzoni (Costumes), Aaron Rumley (Sound), Philip Korth (Props) and Peter Herman (Wigs). Danielle Stephens* is the Stage Manager. *The actor or stage manager appears through the courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association. For photos, go to www.northcoastrep.org/press.

More drama than comedy, this depiction of a forever-under-pressure family unfolds as a series of showdowns, the first of which builds from a low buzz of anxiety toward an aria of chastisement, delivered by a steely grandma. That crescendo is performed here by a cast that includes Judy Kaye, widely admired for her portrayals of Carlotta in "The Phantom of the Opera" and Florence Foster Jenkins in About the Bloggers "Souvenir," directed by Scott Schwartz, best known for his stagings of such musicals as "Bat Mike Boehm Boy" and "tick, tick … BOOM!" Lisa Fung Christopher Hawthorne Theatergoers' initial exposure to "Yonkers," the Reed Johnson most-awarded of Simon's plays, likely was in a Christopher Knight large theater, but this piece, with its seven Charles McNulty emotionally churning characters, benefits from Suzanne Muchnic David Ng being presented in a place where audience Sherry Stern members can see the actors' nuances.
