Crouse, O’Brien, Shipley, et al. Set for Gloucester Stage Season

Broadway and film star Lindsay Crouse will portray poet Emily Dickinson in Gloucester Stage’s revival of William Luce’s award-winning solo show The Belle of Amherst, July 19-August 12.

That show will play in repertory with Jerome Kilty’s Dear Liar, based on the correspondence between George Bernard Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, starring Gloucester Stage regulars Paul O’Brien and Sandra Shipley.

The 2007 season will also include Yvetter Heyliger’s Hillary and Monica: The Winter of Her Discontent (May 25-June 3), which posits a fictional meeting between Hillary Clinton and Monica Lewinsky; the world premiere of Donna DeMatteo’s Our Son’s Wedding (June 7-24), about the nuptials of two men; Mike Batistick’s Ponies (June 28-July 15), about two men who spend their days at a New York City betting parlor; and Israel Horovitz’s The Widow’s Blind Date (August 16-September 2), about the reunion of three high-school classmates.
