Opal is the consummate bag lady. Everyone’s
trash is her treasure. She lives in a rundown
mansion surrounded by her collections
and befriended by the local policeman.
Unfortunately, she is discovered by three
miscreants ― a fallen urbane professor, a small time hood, and
a brash insecure woman ― who make her the center of their
scheme to get rich quick by collecting on her insurance. To be
insured, she needs a physical examination and so enters the
doctor who can’t heal himself, and the plot thickens. What follows
is a succession of intrigue, twist and turns and surprises, which
we, of course, cannot divulge here. Supported by a veteran cast
and outstanding crew and set, the play is loaded with laughs
and a cheerful philosophy. We invite you to come and find out
why everybody loves Opal. Directed by Darrel M. Meinke.

Anne Meara wrote this dramatic comedy
for herself and partner Jerry Stiller. The
dialogue is New York snappy; both funny and
poignant. And underneath the main theme is
a mysterious, twilight zone-like thread.
The play opens with an ethereal waiter in the newest ‘in’
Manhattan restaurant, preparing for the arrival of a party of
four. The two middle-aged couples, old friends reuniting after
three years, have just seen a new Broadway play.
Discussing the play and playing catch-up leads to some insightful

revelations about their lives. More drinks are ordered, and their
mysterious waiter serves dinner, during which they discuss
sex, the wearing of fur, matters of health, and problems with
their children.
A third couple, Emily and Matt stops by the table to say hello.
After introductions, they are convinced to stay for a nightcap
even though Emily has already had too much to drink. After
Play is about old friends, memories and moving on. It should
prove to be an unusual and entertaining evening.
