The Footlighters Production of Rabbit Hole

I was spoiled growing up in Louisville Kentucky by Actors Theatre, one of the best regional theatres in the U.S.. I had season tickets for several years before I left, and really loved attending the shows. (For one thing, it was the one night of the month I was sure I could get a date.) Later I moved to Florida and later out to Colorado, and never found anything really comparable near where I lived. By the time I moved to Walpole, I didn’t think about going to the theatre as much. I believe that’s just changed.I ran into someone from the Footlighters, Walpole’s community theatre, at an a local art festival. It sounded interesting, so my wife and I went to see their latest production, Rabbit Hole, over the weekend. It proved to be really enjoyable experience for me, reminding me of the times I’d go to Actors Theatre in Louisville.The players, Amy Snodgrass, Shannon Lillian Hogan, David DaCosta, Sandi MacDonald, and Patrick Maloney all turned in wonderful performances. I could easily have seen them playing in Louisville.The story is about a couple that had everything until a tragic accident splintered their world. Over the course of the play, they have to navigate a blind maze of broken expectations in order to find their way back to each other.This coming weekend is the last weekend for the play. Don’t miss it.
