The Gin Game, D.L. Coburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, will open Fri., Oct. 10 at the Off-Broadstreet Theatre, 5 So. Greenwood Ave., Hopewell.
The comedy-drama follows two residents in an old persons’ home, where a casual game of Gin Rummy escalates into an “marathon duel of wit, malice and desperation”.
The characters in this two-person play will be portrayed by Pennsylvania residents Doug Kline and Carol Mancini. Both Kline and Ms. Mancini have performed at the Off-Broadstreet stage before, most recently as Alfred Doolittle in OBT’s Pygmalion and Mildred Sloan in Squabbles.
Robert Thick, co-producer at the Off-Broadstreet Theatre, is directing and designing the set for this production.
