Silver Linings group rehearsing multiple plays

Monday, June 11, 2018

The senior Putnam County theater group Silver Lining Players currently has three plays in rehearsal -- “Up Words,” “Overtones” and “A Matter of Husbands.”

Plays will be performed at nursing homes and other venues throughout Putnam County.

Silver Linings, a script-in-hand theater group, will be practicing at the Putnam County Museum every first and third Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Any senior citizen is welcome.

In “A Matter of Husbands” by Fernc Molnar, Sandy Steinem will be playing the actress and Karen Temple, the much-abused wife.

Linda Ford and Kathy Stephan are two “ladies” in “Overtones” by Alice Gerstenberg. Their alter egos -- who say what they really think -- are Carol Moore and Martha Wharton.

The third play, “Up Words,” was written by the mother of one of the players, M. K. Verhein. Her daughter, Kace Huber, will be playing Lucille with Bill Wieland taking the part of John.

Meanwhile, Karen Smoger has written some original poetry, and local musician Lenora Bowlby will be playing the harmonica for these first three plays.

Another play in the works is “Love Letters,” to be performed by husband-and-wife duo Karen Temple and Ben Dulaski. It is scheduled to be presented at the Putnam County Museum as a fall fundraiser.

The next meeting of Silver Linings will be Monday, June 18 at the museum, 1105 N. Jackson St., Greencastle.
