The Little Sisters of Littleton

at Edmond Town Hall’s Alexandria Room, 45 Main Street, Newtown, Ct.

The Stray Kats Theatre Company presents a staged reading of a new comedy by Kate Katcher, The Little Sisters of Littleton, with the support of Friends of Newtown Seniors (FONS),
“I love writing for today’s seniors,” says Katcher, Artistic Director of Stray Kats Theatre Company. “We are living longer with greater quality than our parents or grandparents ever dreamed of. We are vibrant, active, and engaged, funny, curious, tender and wise. We should be celebrated!”

The Little Sisters of Littleton introduces us to two strong, witty women in their 70s. When younger sister Ann sneaks Emily’s ex-husband into the house for a tryst, the bitter divorcee is forced to deal with the man who abandoned her some thirty years ago. What starts out as a door-slamming comedy soon reveals deep feelings between Emily and her estranged husband.

The play will be performed script-in-hand by professional actors appearing courtesy of Actors Equity Association. Kate Katcher and Don Striano of Newtown, Carole Schweid of Westport

The reading will be followed by a talk-back and complimentary refreshments.
