The group has relied on the playwright’s works for its openers in years past. Everything about the play fits the group’s criteria, said Beverly Dahlstrom during a cue-to-cue rehearsal on Wednesday evening. Dahlstrom is the organization’s president, artistic director and public relations and marketing expert. “It’s comedy. It’s family relationships, and it’s about mending and healing. It portrays an older man trying to restart life after the death of a partner. A lot of people on Marco Island have had the same experience.” Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:23:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.marconews.com:news-Story-290727-734441entertainment/arts-theaterCHERYL FERRARAMarco, FLMarco Players presents ‘Chapter Two’: The second time around can be charming marconews.commarco-players-presents-chapter-two-second-time-arourn:publicid:www.marconews.com:news-Story-290727-734441Change0Usablehttp://www.marconews.com/news/2011/sep/19/faison-love-marco-n-word-capt-briens-comedy-club/?partner=RSSA well-known comedian says he quit a weekend gig at a Marco Island club due to a racist remark.
