Port Angeles Community Players to produce ‘Enchanted April’

PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Community Players will present its production of “Enchanted April” at 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Tuesdays as well as matinees at 2 p.m. Sundays through March 9.

The play will be performed on the main stage at the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.

Tickets are $18 each, $9 for students, at www.pacommunityplayers.org or at the box office 30 minutes before each performance.

The play, written by Matthew Barber, was nominated for two Tony awards after its 2003 Broadway production.

“Enchanted April,” a comedy set in the 1920s post-war period, is based on Elizabeth Von Arnim’s novel, “The Enchanted April.”

Directed by Janice Parks, the play features a pair of newly acquainted London housewives, played by Sarah Winters and Traci Waknitz, who rent a villa in Italy to get a holiday from their emotionally absent husbands, played by Justin Stapleton and Sean Stone.

To help pay the bills, the pair recruit a pair of difficult upper-class women, played by Anna Andersen and Olivia Wray.

The cast of eight is filled out with Sean McDaniel, as the owner of the villa, and Emma Easton, as the Italian housekeeper.
