Music Theatre of Wenatchee

Vikings

by Stephen Metcalfe
Directed by Kathy Smithson

The Vikings are not Norsemen of old, but an American family of Danish descent who pride themselves on their strength of character. They include Grandfather Yens Larsen (Keith Sexson), who founded the family carpentry business, his son Peter (Dan Malmin), and Peter's son Gunnar (Matt Benson). After Peter's wife dies, Peter looses interest in life. His father and his son do everything they can to help him, including trying to make a match between Peter and an old school friend of his, Betsy Simmons (Karen Knox), who is now divorced and lonely, too. "A play finely threaded with warmth, pathos, humor and insight." Palm Beach Daily News. "Beautifully written and deeply moving." Miami Herald.

Show Dates: Jan 12-14, 19-21, & 26-28, 2006.
Show starts at 8:00 PM at the Riverside Playhouse. Admission is $14.00 - Member Thursday nights, $12.00. Please note that there is some strong language in this play.

Tickets are on sale now at Wood and Things at 240 N Wenatchee Ave, Wenatchee, WA, 98801. If you have any ticket questions, please call Robin Armstrong at (509) 679-3742. Please no children under 5 years old.
