Peanut Productions to debut new play next week
Peanut Productions is just about ready to raise the curtains on their latest play.
This marks the 33rd year for the local drama group, which presents a new play to the public every spring. This year’s showing is the comedy Dearly Departed by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones. It is rated PG-13.
“It’s about a family where the father of the family has suddenly passed away and now the family has to work at preparing for the funeral,” explained Jan Senik.
“They don’t have any money, but they want the best for him and there are other family members who come out of the woodwork in order to be part of the funeral. There’s the different family dynamics during the preparation and after he has passed away. It is very much a comedy. It is very funny.”
