The Marco Players Present “Love & Money”

“Love & Money,” a buoyant comedy about a widow who plans to donate everything, was written by A.R. Gurney and will be produced by The Marco Players April 20 through May 8, 2022. A.R. Gurney, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright, produced nearly 50 plays during his career, along with several musicals and three novels.

Gurney is famous for his acute observation of a privileged and disappearing class—characters with impeccable breeding and private-school educations, who sip martinis at cocktail hour and give perfect dinner parties, regardless of the disruptions that shake the world around them. “Love & Money,” is a play about a wealthy widow who’s decided to give away most of her money and possessions before she dies because she feels she has “committed the crime of having too much money.” The talented cast includes Leslie Sanderson (Cornelia); Rita Meehan (Agnes); Mike Dulcio (Walker “Scott”); Kyle Bittner (Harvey); and Giselle Cairney (Jessica). Director Marilee Warner says, “Mr. Gurney would be proud to see his work of art so expertly executed on The Marco Players’ stage by a superb cast.”

Additionally, the theater gallery wall will feature the works of Cynthia Streit Mazzaferro, an award-winning fine artist skilled in working with pastels, oils, and colored pencils. Enjoy a preview of Streit Fine Art Gallery at streitgallery.com
