Theatre People or The Angel Next Door
200 Oxford Road, oxford, md, 21654, us
Big personalities, romantic complications and plenty of laughs—Tred Avon Players presents Theatre People, or The Angel Next Door, a 1940s-style farce and romantic comedy by Paul Slade Smith, directed by Susan Patterson.
Young novelist Oliver Adams is on the brink of success: his novel is about to be published, celebrated Broadway playwrights have adapted it for the stage, and the actress he secretly adores has been cast in the starring role.
But when everyone gathers for a weekend in Newport, Rhode Island, the mansion’s thin walls reveal that the “angel” may not be quite so angelic. As secrets unravel and theatrical personalities collide, only the power of theatre can save the play, the novel—and perhaps Oliver’s heart.
