Cabin Fever, a play by Joan Schenkar

Sunday, February 15, 3 pm, Westport (presented by the Depot Theatre, at the Westport Library)

Sunday, February 22, 3 pm, Tupper Arts, Tupper Lake

Stave off the evils of cabin fever (the malady) by Joining us for Cabin Fever the play by Joan M. Schenkar; Adirondack Stage Rats’ first staged reading of our winter season!

It’s crazy, funny, creepy, weird—so many things we love—and a play we can’t imagine any other company in the region producing! This “comedy of menace” features three malevolent New England oldsters rocking away on a country porch reciting horrifying yet funny stories about their fellow locals and their customs.

IF Samuel Beckett, Stephen King, and Sam Shepard had ever collaborated on a play this could have been the result! Children will be bored with this inappropriate material so leave them elsewhere, please.

Directed by Tyler Nye; Featuring Leslie Dame, Jordan Hornstein, and Christopher Leifheit.
