Imagine you and a sibling are actors in a traveling acting troupe. One day the group deserts you both at a dilapidated “state theater in a state unknown.” What happens next? That’s the scene for the partly autobiographical The Two Character Play by the great Tennessee Williams, who wrote it late in his career. The play, directed by Erin Sullivan, stars Mitch Ladd and Rachel Hettrick as siblings Felice and Clare. The characters put on a two-person play but “reality and fantasy intertwine and blur as their situation becomes as dire as the one in the play. The show becomes an ‘outcry’ against personal demons, isolation and the mysteries of the human condition,” Hettrick said. MASS Media Productions is putting on the show. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Hoogland home page. The play contains adult language.
