To celebrate Generic Theater's 35th year of producing plays, as well as the Players' Ring's 25th anniversary season, we return to a favorite of ours: The 2004 Spotlight Awards Best Play, "Mornings at Seven" by Paul Osborne.
Set in the Midwest in 1938, "Mornings at Seven" offers a slice of American family life in a much simpler time.
Four sisters, three husbands, a nephew and his fiancee make up the warm-hearted, wrangling cast of characters. When the play opens, nephew Homer, 35 years old and still living at home, is expected to bring Myrtle, his fiancee of seven years, to meet the folks. Myrtle's arrival sets off a sequence of events that turns this extended dysfunctional family upside down.
