‘Chapatti’ at St. Michael’s Playhouse

St. Michael’s Playhouse announces the area premiere of Irish playwright Christian O’Reilly’s play, “Chapatti,” opening Wednesday, July 18. Evening performances are July 18-21 and 24-28 at 8 p.m. with matinee performances July 21 and 28 at 2.

A beautifully poignant and warmly humorous new Irish play. Romance is a distant memory for two lonely animal lovers. When forlorn Dan and his dog, Chapatti, cross paths with the amiable Betty and her 19 cats, an unexpected spark begins a warm and gentle story about two people re-discovering the importance of human companionship. “Chapatti” was first produced in 2014 as a co-production of Ireland’s Galway Arts Festival and Chicago’s Northlight Theatre.

“Chapatti” stars Richard Warner as Dan and Judith Reagan as Betty. Warner and Reagan are married actors returning to St. Michael’s Playhouse where they began their professional acting careers many years ago, both of whom performed in the Virginia premiere of “Chapatti” in 2017.

The creative team includes Kathryn Markey (director), Ken Goldstein (scenic design), Renee Baker (costume design), Annmarie Duggan (lighting design), Joel Abbott (sound design) and Jacob Foster (property design).

Single ticket prices range from $36 to $45. The Playhouse is located at McCarthy Arts Center, on Route 15, in Colchester. Tickets may be purchased online at saintmichaelsplayouse.org or by calling 802-654-2281 or visiting the walk-up window in the lobby of McCarthy Arts Center.
