The Last Nickel by Jane Shepard is theatrical, funny, and touching. It’s another long night for Jamie, with an obnoxious sister and a trio of sardonic puppets to keep her awake. Tinged with fun and sisterly nostalgia, the merriment comes inevitably to focus on the cause of Jamie’s self-destruction, and the loss that has brought her to the edge.
This show will be entered in the Maryland Community Theatre Festival Association Festival, January 14-17, 2022. The Festival is hosted by the Potomac Playmakers of Hagerstown. More information about the festival may be found at www.mctfa.org. The show will be directed by Bruce Hirsch, and you may contact him for further questions at bruceshirsch@gmail.com.
