Monologues explore emotions at funerals

PORT ANGELES — The different emotions at funerals will be explored in this weekend’s Port Angeles Community Players Second Stage production of “Three Viewings.”
The play, performed with no intermission, is this weekend only. The curtain will go up at 7:30 tonight and Saturday night and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
Tickets are not needed. Admission is by donation at the door.
The play by Jeffery Hatcher is set in a Midwestern funeral home.
It consists of three monologues that portray the lengths to which survivors will go to hold on to memories, money, life and love, according to organizers.
Director Angela Poynter said the play “reminds us not only of our own mortality, but the importance of living fully and in the moment.”
“The stories are both hilarious and extremely moving, the characters are empathetic and their situations unique and entertaining, the acting is beautifully sincere and the monologues delivered with a ‘no-holds-barred’ approach,” Poynter added.
The cast of three is Pat Owens as an undertaker, Jennifer Horton as a jewelry thief and Poynter as a widow.
The Port Angeles Community Players season is sponsored by Hallett Advisors.
