"Butterflies Are Free"
This funny, warm, moving 1969 comedy-drama written by Leonard Gershe is being performed at the Rogers Street Theatre, downtown Gloucester, July 19-21; 26-28. The theatre has just celebrated its first-year anniversary and is delighted to have Butterflies Are Free as the first play of its new 2019-2020 season. Directed by the inimitable Ray Jenness, this play is perfect summertime entertainment. Ray is thrilled with his dream cast who work together amazingly well to bring this play to life.
The play centers on a blind aspiring singer-songwriter Don Baker, who is living away from the smothering influence of his overprotective mother for the first time. Free-spirited actress Jill Tanner moves into the apartment next door, and the two young people bond over music and literature and sex! But when Don's Scarsdale mother makes an unexpected visit, she clashes with the headstrong Jill, assuming that she'll get bored and leave Don, just as his last girlfriend did. And it seems that she may be right to be concerned when Jill breaks a dinner date with Don and announces that she plans to move in with her new director. Ultimately when the chips are down -- Mom shows that its really all about having her sons best interests at heart.
