BERLIN – The Ocean Pines Players are thrilled to present this weekend two, one-act plays, Revenge of the Red Feather Ladies and The Red Feather Ladies Get Their Man, by Maxine Holmgren.
Together, these goofy plays demonstrate why it is not a good idea to get on the wrong side of six determined, angry and slightly off-kilter women. A loose parody of the Red Hat Ladies, it is one part farce, one part romance, and one part mystery, with a big dollop of hilarity on top. And, in the words of the play’s director, “If you think you know how it is going to end, I can pretty much guarantee, you’re wrong.”
The wacky characters are played by a fine cast of talented actors including long-time players Edie Brennan, Sammy Barnes, Gina Ashton and Barb Gallagher as well as Judy Nelson who returns to the Players after a long absence, Dorothy Shelton, who is acting for the first time in 40 years, and newcomer Betty Ann Harrington, who said, “I have never done anything like this in my life, but I am having a ton of fun and learning a lot.”
The Ocean Pines Players is an all-volunteer local 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All profits from the performances are split between the Players’ Youth Performing Arts Scholarship Fund and the many community support activities provided by St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.
Show dates are Friday to Sunday, Nov. 20–22 at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on 103rd Street and Coastal Highway in Ocean City All seats are $15, which includes free wine, punch and snacks before the show and desserts, coffee and tea at intermission.
