West End Student Theatre gets ‘Reckless’ April 20-22

POTTSTOWN >> The Montgomery County Community College West End Student Theatre brings Craig Lucas’s comedy/drama “Reckless” to the stage April 20-22 at the College’s West Campus in Pottstown.

The plot centers around a couple with an unusual relationship. On Dec. 24, Rachel is informed by her guiltridden husband that he has hired a hitman to kill her – Merry Christmas! She scrambles out into the night alone, and finds a wild, wonderful web of people and events which allow her to become the hero of her own (almost sane) story. The production contains adult themes and language.

Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists’ Play Services, “Reckless” is directed by Tim Gallagher and assistant director Zach Clark, with stage direction by Jeff Chernesky. It is produced and designed by students in the Theatre Production Workshop and the West End Student Theatre.

The cast and crew includes Maliah Buxton of Collegeville, Mika Cave of Bechtelsville, Sebastian Coates of Douglassville, William Cox of Red Hill, Tess Devlin of Collegeville, Duncan DeVore of Perkiomenville, Joseph Donley of Pottstown, Phoebe Kancianic of Pottstown, Derek Peterson of Reading, Shaun Reed of Lancaster, Erik Reyes of Pottstown, Toby Troyer, Hailee Tyson of Sanatoga, and Kayla Velasquez of Royersford.

Performances will be held April 20-22 at 7 p.m., and a special daytime performance on April 21 at 12:30 p.m. in the South Hall Community Room at 101 College Drive in Pottstown. General admission is $10, and $5 for students and seniors. To purchase tickets, please visit www.mc3.edu/theater or call 215-641-6518.

Proceeds from the production will benefit the Theatre Arts Merit Scholarship fund at the College.
