Winter players at BBR

Into their third season, the Black Butte Ranch “Winter Players” are presenting “The Whole Truth” Monday, February 27, at the Big Meadow Club House on the Ranch.

“This is a cure for cabin fever,” said Pixie Carson, one of the two actors taking part in the reader’s theater presentation.

The play, lasting about 30 minutes, follows cocktails at 6 p.m. and a buffet dinner at 7 p.m.

Paula Reents is the other half of this play, which describes two women, sequestered in a hotel room during jury deliberation, one for the defendant, one against. They get to know each other better and ultimately they really don’t like each other.

“The Whole Truth” was written by Viki Boyle and licensed by Samuel French, Inc. It was an off-off Broadway festival play well received by audiences.

The play was selected by New York theatre critics as one of the more important plays of the Sixteenth Off-Off Broadway Original Short Play Festival.

Likable Roger Gabrielson is Master of Ceremonies and stage manager for the evening’s performance.

An extra treat – diners will get to sample new chef Dean Eckert’s creations at dinnertime.

The dinner theater evening costs $25 and is limited to 100 people. Five dollars of each ticket will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.

Both performers are former English teachers and have previous acting experience. Besides acting, they enjoy golf on the Ranch and Reents is involved with her climbing activities.
