In one week, Main Street Players at 6766 Main Street, will present the South Florida premiere of Marjorie Prime, the 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist written by Jordan Harrison.
The play features 85-year-old Marjorie, feisty and physically fit, but battling the loss of memory. She is living with her quick-witted daughter facing her own life crisis and her daughter’s easy-going husband.
There is also the 35-year-old holographic version of Marjorie’s deceased husband who spends time with her reliving the precious moments the two shared when he was alive.
A thought-provoking science fiction play that is both witty and poignant, Marjorie Prime explores what it means to be human, and what gives us purpose in this technological age. The show is directed by John Olivera, and the cast includes Carol Sussman as Marjorie, Fara Sax as Tess, Harry Marsh as Jon and Chris D’Angelo as Walter.
Marjorie Prime opens on April 14 and runs through May 7, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults, and $25 for students, seniors, and military personnel, and may be purchased online at
www.mainstreetplayers.com, or at the door one hour prior to showtime. The Main Street Playhouse is located at 6766 Main Street.
