The Dalton Little Theatre opens its 2024-25 season with “Grand Horizons,” a Tony Award-nominated comedy by Bess Wohl.
The story is about a couple, Nancy and Bill, who decide to divorce after 50 years of marriage. Their adult sons, Brian and Ben, are shocked by the decision and come to the Grand Horizons senior living community to try and make sense of this possibility. As they do so, everything they thought they knew about their parents begins to change.
The play explores themes such as marriage, family, imperfect pasts and love in new forms. As the family members grapple with their new reality, each must reckon with their own imperfect past and how their love for each other might express itself in new and unlikely forms. You may see some of your own family in these characters, and the audience is guaranteed to laugh, cry and maybe be a bit shocked by the interactions of aging parents with adult children.
Leave the kids at home when attending this one, as mature situations and language are part of the author’s “Neil Simon-ish” storytelling.
Produced in cooperation with the Dramatists Play Service and directed by Karen Keith, “Grand Horizons” features the talents of cast members Judith Beasley, Ken Russell, Anthony Davis, Ron King, Joanna Lewis, Joshua Gunther and Helen Crawford. The show runs Aug. 16-18 and 23-24. All evening shows are at 7 with a Sunday matinee on Aug. 18 at 2 p.m.
