Thoughts on…Four Places by Director Richard Rosemore >
FAMILY MATTERS
We all have families of one sort or another. We all, at one point or another, had/have parents, whether our natural parents or guardians who raised us. In some form or fashion (and no matter how loving your relationship with your parents or how difficult,) there are times when “dealing with” your parents is one of the great hardships of life.

The family is our first encounter with the ingredients of drama, especially those most fundamental ingredients: character and conflict. “Four Places” is a small gem of a family play which begins in the gently amusing territory of Thornton Wilder’s “Short Happy Journey from Trenton to Camden” and concludes in the shadowy realm of Eugene O’Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey into Night.more > — Gary Aday, Washington County News

Four Places
by Joel Drake Johnson
"Secrets served up over lunch with sides of humor and heartbreak" While taking their mother to lunch, Warren and his sister, Ellen, learn more than they ever wanted to know in this smart, new look at family secrets. Anyone who knows anything about parenting his or her aging parents will relate to the humor and heartbreak of this alternately sweet and acerbic story of children coming to terms with the fact that their parents have totally independent lives.
