Posted on September 5th, 2009
“SQUABBLES” CAST PHOTO - Standing in back: Don Campbell, Paul Lavallee - Seated, left to right: Harriet Winokur, Will Bordelon, Jennifer Hyde, Patti Earl - Down in front: Bobby Roam
As the 2009-10 season opener, the Little Theatre of New Smyrna Beach will produce “Squabbles,” a comedy by Marshall Karp. The show will run two week-ends: September 11, 12 and 13 and September 17, 18, 19 and 20 for a total of 7 performances. The director is Shelly Wawrzonek.
Playwright Marshall Karp has penned this hilarious comedy in a tried and true style of writing, utilizing some of his own life experiences as a backdrop. Having carved a successful career in advertising and overseeing contracts for the likes of Coca-Cola, Gillette and Nestle, Karp turned to writing for television, stage and screen and live theatre.
Karp’s “Squabbles” tells an entertaining story about Jerry Sloan who is a successful writer of advertising jingles and married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the not so happy Abe Dreyfus, Jerry’s curmudgeon of a father-in-law. The situation is exacerbated when Jerry’s mother (Mildred) loses her house in a fire and needs a place to stay. Since the wedding, Abe and Mildred can’t stand each other. This play is one hilarious confrontation after another until the heartwarming finale.
