News Notes: April 3, 2022
On April 22 and 23 at the Nasson Little Theatre, Floreymare productions in conjunction with the Opening Night Players will be performing The Painter In The Port, an original work written by Michael P. Dalleo and directed by Michael and Mary Anne Dalleo. In this thrilling psychodrama, Jack Werner paints to forget his past. With his first exhibition approaching, Jack stumbles headfirst into his own nightmare. When some residents go missing, it’s up to the Sheriff and his goofy deputy to get to the bottom of things. With a colorful cast of characters, The Painter in the Port will reveal one of life’s true victims. The cast features Jim Zibailo, Jay MacDougal, Sally DeCost, Julia Schultze, Sammie Dalleo, Lisa Richmond, Michael Mazur, Fleurette Bannon, Peggy Driscoll, Laura Josiah and Fred Boyle. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased here or at the Theatre.
