Cleveland Escorts: Stow Players steps up with comedy in new season
At “The Pines,” a drab, dreary, reputedly haunted house and former brothel in the middle of England, Elizabeth (Sarah Ratka of Akron), a former go-go dancer with delusions of grandeur, has decided to leave her husband, country-loving bucket manufacturer and sometime alcoholic Roland (Steve Boardman of Hudson). Elizabeth has called her brother Mark (Dan Sekanic of Brunswick) to help comfort Roland, but Mark has troubles of his own. His fiancée Kitty (Chanda Porter of Cuyahoga Falls), who recently jilted him at the altar, has been picked up on suspicion of soliciting, so he decides to drag her back to the house and put her in the attic. Meanwhile, Roland, oblivious to the fact his wife has left him, is about ready to buy the house from the builder’s son, the Yamaha-riding, Leslie (Record Publishing Co.’s Scott Shriner), while Tristram (Mark Bernhardt of Stow), a completely inept yet strangely endearing young lawyer, tries to seal the deal.
