The Cemetery Club
a comedy by Ivan Menchell
at First Congregational Church of Ashfield
March 15-17 and 22-24
Jaris Hanson,* Louise Krieger and Jeannine Haas* play 3 Jewish women in Queens, NY—friends with deep bonds—who meet monthly for tea and a visit to their deceased husbands' graves. The widows are at various stages of "moving on" in their romantic lives. When one of them meets a fellow she likes, played by Frank Aronson,* the women's friendship is put to the test. (*member Actors Equity Assn. appearing under a Members' Project Code).
Jeannine Haas of Pauline Productions, the resident theatre company at First Congregational Church of Ashfield, teams up with Jean Koester of Devereaux Productions to mount this full production. Both Koester and Haas are attracted to projects featuring juicy roles for mature women, a population whose stories and presence are largely under-represented onstage. The play ran on Broadway in 1990 and was later made into a major motion picture.
Why this play now? Jeannine says, "When Louise and Jean brought this script to my attention, I just loved it. It has a sweetness to it and the dialogue and humor rings true. I think the audience will relate to these characters and their foibles. And goodness knows, we all need to be in the same room laughing together right now! It's winter in New England; cold and dark, and the world is a mess. I think this play will be "just the ticket" to leave the audience feeling more hopeful, lighter, and glad to be alive.
