Check Out "Picnic"

Two-and-a-half years ago, friendly Athena Bergen performed in the ensemble for DMTC's "Guys and Dolls," but then as far as I could tell, vanished. But not forever - she's playing 'Madge' in "Picnic" over at River Stage:

Director Adrienne Sher finely finesses these moments so the audience really understands the context of the women’s anxieties and fears. Sher lingers on the small gestures while wisely relying on humor to lighten other issues. And she nurtures her talented cast, resulting in strong performances from the main characters as well as every single support player.

Bergen and Rife are quite believable as the town beauty and the misunderstood bad boy.
