Theatre--Performance

The Eunice Players' Theatre is opening The Subject Was Roses, their fall show, this weekend.   The play centers on John and Nettie Cleary, (Dr. Kevin Miller and Jody L. Powell) and their son, Timmy ( Christian Richard), a young man returning home from World War II.  As the family drama unfolds, marital strains between John and Nettie become apparent, and Timmy provides the tension-relieving humor in his attempts to smooth the waters over his parents' turbulent relationship.  The Broadway play and subsequent movie had outstanding success with critics and the public alike and they won many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for drama, Academy Awards for the actors, and the Tony Award for Best Play.  The Subject Was Roses was previously presented by Eunice Player’s Theatre in 1971 in the second season. 


The show will open with a matinee on Sunday, October 3 at 2:00 p.m.  Dinner theatre is scheduled for Tuesday, October 5 at 6:00 p.m. at Nick's on Second St., with the performance immediately following.   Remaining performances dates include October 6-10, with evening performances at 7:00 p.m. and the Sunday performance at 2:00 p.m.  Season ticket holders should call 866-856-3653 to make reservations.  Those without season tickets can purchase tickets by going to David Ltd.
