‘Great Falls’ takes the stage
Island Theatre at the Library presents “Great Falls” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20 at the Bainbridge Public Library. In “Great Falls,” playwright Lee Blessing contrasts the great American West with all of its promises of adventure, wonder and epic exploration, to the less-heroic journey of a writer and his alienated stepdaughter and their battle to overcome their own unwise and only half-intentional betrayals of self and of those they love. In a series of increasingly desperate attempts to rescue something from the wreckage of divorce, they test how much they can trust each other — or whether they can ever trust each other again. The 2008 two-character play is directed by Rozzella Kolbegger and features Ted Dowling and Tia Bannister. It is recommended for age 15 and up due to adult themes. Visit www.IslandTheatre.org.
