HOME FIRES BURNING IN GREENE

In addition to the four shows in the main stage season at Chenango River Theatre, three eclectically different solo touring shows have been added to the schedule. Each will play one-night-only as part of the One Night Stand Series. Up first is Home Fires Burning. Consisting of two original one-act plays, Everlasting Moon and Paradise Whiskey, it received rave reviews at the Bridge Street Theatre in the Catskills last year. Roxanne Fay, who played the mother in Other Desert Cities for CRT in 2015, serves up the two plays. Each features one character: the first, a feral young girl who has been taken from her home in the backwoods after being discovered living alone following the death of her grandmother; the second, an ancient and disfigured woman sitting on her porch, sipping whiskey and snapping beans, addressing the young man who has come to coax her to an assisted living government establishment. Both tell stories of the fierce need for - and willingness to fight for - a place called home.

Home Fires Burning plays Monday, June 12th at the Chenango River Theatre, 991 State Highway 12 in Greene. The performance is at 7:30pm; all seats are $12. For further information visit chenangorivertheatre.org or call (607) 656-8499.
