The curtain is set to rise on a brand new production at Historic Folsom’s Sutter Street Theatre as it prepares to debut “Visiting Mr. Green,” a compelling play by Jeff Baron this coming week.
Directed by Janelle Kauffman and produced in partnership with Kauffmans’ Give Us A Hand Productions, this production promises to captivate audiences with its poignant storyline and stellar performances.
Opening on July 12th and running until August 4th, “Visiting Mr. Green” explores the unlikely friendship between Mr. Green, an elderly retired dry cleaner, and Ross Gardiner, a young corporate executive. Their relationship begins with an accidental traffic encounter in New York City, leading to a court-mandated community service arrangement that alters both their lives profoundly. What starts as a comedy of mismatched personalities evolves into a touching drama as the characters confront their pasts and forge a deep bond.
The play, which has been translated into 24 languages and staged over 600 times worldwide, has garnered acclaim for its universal themes and powerful performances. Audiences can expect a rollercoaster of emotions as the characters navigate themes of loss, reconciliation, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Performances will take place Fridays at 7:30 PM, Saturdays at 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and Sundays at 4:30 PM. Tickets can be reserved online at www.SutterStreetTheatre.com or by calling (916) 353-1001.
