Earlville Opera House news
(Earlville, NY – June 2013) Save June 15 at 8 p.m. and June 16 at 3 p.m. to see Hugh Humphreys bring to life a production of Spoon River Anthology. The citizens buried in the graveyard of this fictional Midwestern town (Spoon River) tell the riveting stories of their lives, their failures, their loves, their philosophies, their triumphs, their conflicts, their secrets and their crimes.
Spoon River Anthology is described in the Washington Times as a play that uniquely captures American life from the perspective of the afterlife.
“The characters are a cross-section of society: the spinster schoolteacher who expresses her maternal instinct … the town drunk who unrepentantly relates his death from cirrhosis of the liver, a lawyer (clutching his only friend in the world, a dog) and his embittered and cruel wife … Spoon River was a swinging town, full of gamblers, skirt-chasers, liars, fighters, avengers and thieves – and these are just the dead people.”
This production by Humphreys supports two of his favorite organizations: the Earlville Opera House and the National Abolition Hall of Fame. For more information, visit www.earlvilleoperahouse.com or call 315.691.3550.
Admission is $15 for the public, $13 for members and $10 for students.
