An Anniversary to Smile About

Upper Main Line theater fans have a lot smile about right here in Berwyn.
Footlighters theater company is celebrating its 85th Anniverary Season this fall.

Director Sarah Sperling, members of the board and theater-lovers celebrated opening night last Friday with a special reception on the lawn of the theater which is housed in a converted church across the street from St. Monica Parish on Main Avenue in Berwyn.

Sperling is the director of Footlighters' season-opening play Rabbit Hole. The play looks at the ups, downs,laughs and tears of a family dealing with a crisis in many different ways.  Rabbit Hole is being staged  Friday and Saturday  at 8 p.m.and Sunday  at 2 p.m.. 

Next Thursday night's (September 12) performance will feature a complimentary dessert reception at intermission.  Desserts play an important role in the play and audience members will get to sample free desserts during the intermission.

More information about the play and tickets can be found on the Footlighters Theater website.
