Brewster Theater Company Presents David Lindsay-Abaire’s
                  Off-beat Comedy -- “Wonder of the World”

   Play Exposes Hidden Fetish, Marital Crisis and a Woman’s Comic Odyssey
                        Toward Finding Her True Self

           BREWSTER, NY – The Brewster Theater Company announces its presentation of David Lindsay-Abaire’s play, “Wonder of the World,” at the Henry H. Wells Middle School in Brewster, NY.  Show dates are May 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th. Curtain is at 8pm each night.

           The off-beat comedy deals with Cass, a woman who suddenly learns that her husband, Kip, has a dirty little secret -- one that begs the question, "Who is this person sleeping next to me?"  Cass’ journey for answers takes her to -- and over -- Niagara Falls, as she encounters a hilarious cast of characters along the way.  Martha Liebowitz stars as Cass, the disillusioned and wacky wife, and Ryan Dietzen as Kip, her secretive husband. In her journey, she meets the suicidal Lois (Lori Franzese), a detective couple (Kip Jones and Debbie Levin), Captain Mike (Paul Stein), and the famous, but troubled, McShane sextuplets (Kimberly Bunkley).

           Directed by Regina Sweeney and produced by Ryan Dietzen, the play deals with adult themes that are not suitable for children under 17.

           “Wonder of the World” is a show we’ve been looking at for quite some time, and this year the timing was right,” said Regina Sweeney, the show’s director.  “We’ve been observing a trend among other local theater companies in Putnam, Westchester and nearby Connecticut, where off-beat newer plays are drawing enthusiastic crowds.  We are anxious and delighted to broaden our productions to feature more shows, like “Wonder of the World”.
