Blaine Community Theater is proud to present Closer to Home, Writen by Laura French-Williams and directed by Faith Den Bleyker at the Blaine High School Orange and Black Box Theater February 20- March 1.
Set in 1947, Alice Hansen is the Martha Stewart before there was a Martha Stewart. She cooks, she throws dinner parties, she is a loving wife and mother. In her magazine, she entertains the masses with all her recipes and tips and tricks, but the real trick is Alice is none of these things; she’s a single woman living in Brooklyn, pretending to be the perfect housewife. When her agent arranges for a World War II vet to stay at her Vermont manor for two weeks for publicity’s sake, Alice panics knowing she may just be exposed as a fraud if her sister and brother-in-law don’t play along.
Further chaos ensues when her brother-in-law’s parents show up, along with a reporter and photographer. But nothing prepares Alice for Henry, the war vet, who is everything she has been looking for in a man.
A delightful comedy filled with mistaken identities and shenanigans and the underlying message that telling the truth is usually the best policy.
