Barbara Ann Henry makes her Players Club debut as Anna Reardon
 


Cathy Baum as married sister Ceil Adams

A show of solidarity between sisters Catherine (Kathelen Coll Senkow, standing) and Anna Reardon (Barbara Henry)

Deserted by their father as youngsters, the three Reardon sisters were raised by a domineering mother who has recently passed away. Two of the sisters cared for their mother during her long illness; the third, the married one, did little then but willingly helped herself to much of her mother's valuables after her death. Now the youngest sister has undergone a scandalous incident at the school where she teaches; the married sister argues that she is on the brink of madness and must be committed to an institution.
Neighbor and fellow school district employee Fleur Stein (Leslie Norton) drops by for a visit

The intense dramatic situation of …And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little is relieved by the valiant, sardonic humor of the sisters. Written by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paul Zindel, it is a strong play with comic moments you will remember. Bohdan Senkow, our director, is Producing Director of PCS, and our extremely strong cast includes both PCS veterans and new talent.

Audience Advisory: This show probably not one that children below teen years could understand or appreciate.
