Mayfair's Old Mill Players presented Little Old Ladies in Tennis Shoes at dinner theatre productions Feb. 21, 22 and 23.
In the play, by Sandra Fenichel Asher, Kate Corrigan has her life in order or so she likes to think. She has a lucrative job, a no strings-attached man, and a new house in the suburbs.
She blithely tells her new neighbours, "consider yourselves part of the clutter" and delightful "cutter" they soon become.
Kate's tiny existence is overwhelmed by their roller-coaster friendship, as she is deluged with potroasts and the problems of all the ladies in the neighbourhood.
"Am I a little old lady in training?" Kate asks herself. Confronted with old fears and new choices, Kate finds herself opening up wide enough to admit love for the first time.
Audiences of all ages respond to the warmth and wisdom in this comedy about friendship between generations, about growing "older, wiser, stronger in every way, but not old."
Cast members were: Kate Corrigan - Lorelee Powers, Molly Blumenthal - Sheila Bachelder, Jeff Ernstein - Roman Ewanchuk, Marsha Bernstein - Elaine Woloshy, Mrs. Petrelli - Dolores Buchingham, Mrs. Feldman - Norma Sherman, Mrs. Davis - Cheryl Bulmer and Bill Blayton - Kolin Bulmer.
The director was Elaine Tomkins, lights and sound - Gordon Sheman and Jaycee Buler, prompter - Elizabeth Ewanchuk and slide show - Dawne Bachelder.
The Mayfair Recreation Board and community volunteers prepared the meal.
