The Price, a performance put on by the talented Bay Theatre Company, continues this week. If you haven’t heard about the play or seen it yet, here’s the synopsis: two brothers meet up again after years of distance. The meeting place: the family’s attic. Stakes are high and so are emotions. The play continues until Sunday, May 12. Look to http://www.baytheatre.org to read more about the play.
Another play (though a bit raunchier than the last) by The Colonial Players, is also available for viewing this week. The play, entitled In the Next Room, features the wife of a doctor who invents the vibrator, and some other integral characters who bring comedy, mystery, and curiosity to the 1880 setting.
