Ludlow Village Players to open 19th season

PORT LUDLOW — The Ludlow Village Players will open their 19th season of staged reading with performances of “Ripcord” at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The play will be read at the Beach Club, 121 Marina View Drive, Port Ludlow.

Tickets are $20 per person at www.ludlowvillageplayers.org or at the door.

The play, written by David Lindsay-Abaire and directed by Steve Browning, is a comedy set in a senior living facility.

It features Lou Vilvandre’ as Abby Binder, a sharp-tongued and fiercely independent resident who has been assigned Marilyn Dunne, played by Melissa Denny, as her new roommate.

The mismatched pair embark upon a series of escalating pranks, emotional confrontations and unexpected moments of vulnerability as they push each other to the edge.

Other cast members include Don White as Scotty, Cheryl Weinstein as B.J., Lewis and the clown, Christie Lang as Colleen and the woman in white, Dave Cunningham as Derek, the zombie butler and the masked man, and Diane Bryson as the narrator and first alternate.

This is Browning’s second production with Ludlow Village Players.
