Readers’ Theater: God Bless the Child

Glen Arbor Arts Center presents Readers’ Theater performance of “God Bless the Child” by Empire author Ron Healy. It is a story of redemption within the generations of a family. Naomi and Oliver have recently married and are having difficulties adjusting to their new positions and differing backgrounds. It is a rocky start but salvaged by an honest course of action taken by their grandchildren who, without meaning to, help them adjust to their new life. The story takes place on a farm where roots are deep and generations of family inform the past, present and future.

The cast list is as follows: Joe Kilpatrick is Oliver, Kathryn Den Houter is Naomi, Pete LaPlaca is Porter, James Deaton is Cal, Oliver’s grandson, Cory Woessner is Jaime, Naomi’s grandson, and Rhonda Richards is Carey, Jaime’s wife.

”God Bless the Child”, directed by Harriet Mittelberger, will be performed June 12, and 13 at 7:30 p.m. and June 14, at 3:00 p.m. at GAAC. As always, the seats are free, are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with reservations possible in advance.
