Lanford Wilson play to be staged

Berkshire Community College (BCC) Players will present “Hot L Baltimore” by Lanford Wilson, December 7th and 8th at 8 pm and December 9th at 2pm in the Robert Boland Theatre at Berkshire Community College. The production is directed by Sam Slack.

The scene is the lobby of a rundown hotel so seedy that it has lost the “e” from its marquee. As the action unfolds, the residents, ranging from young to old, from the defiant to the resigned, meet and talk and interact with each other during the course of one day. The drama is of passing events in their lives, of everyday encounters and of the human comedy, with conversations often overlapping into a contrapuntal musical flow. In the resulting mosaic each character emerges clearly and perceptively defined, and the sum total of what they are—or wish they were—becomes a poignant, powerful call to America to recover lost values and to restore itself in its own and the world’s eyes.

Tickets are $15 general admission and $10 for BCC faculty, staff, students and alumni as well as for senior citizens. Tickets can be reserved by calling 413 236-2100, visiting https://tinyurl.com/HOTL-BCC or they may be purchased at the door beginning one hour before each performance.
