After a couple of big shows (the world premiere mystery
Holmes/Poirot and the joyously chaotic
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!), Park Square Theatre's return season continues with something a little smaller and more intimate, but no less affecting. The two-hander
The Gin Game won the Pulitzer Prize in 1978 and has starred some legendary pairs (including original Guthrie company members Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, and Cicely Tyson and James Earl Jones). It's being brought to life on Park Square's Andy Boss Stage by some local legends. It's a sweet and salty little play (that would make a great 90-minute-no-intermission show if not for the intermission) with masterful performances by Greta Oglesby and Terry Hempleman that are a joy to watch.
The Gin Game plays Thursdays through Sundays until February 23 at Park Square Theatre, with James Rocco's
Songbook Series: Broadway in Love happening upstairs in the main theater on Valentine's weekend.
