Western Gold Theatre presents Salt-Water Moon—a tale of two lovers, one night, and a sea of memories—at the PAL Studio Theatre from May 21 to June 7.
Written by David French and directed by Michael Fera, the production begins in 1926 on the front porch of a home in Coley’s Point, a tiny Newfoundland outport. It’s a splendid moon-filled night as lovely 17-year-old Mary Snow studies the evening sky. But her reverie is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of 18-year-old Jacob Mercer, who has returned from Toronto hoping to win back his former sweetheart.
Complicating matters, Mary has become engaged to reliable Jerome McKenzie, and is still hurt and bewildered by Jacob’s abrupt departure a year earlier. She will not be easily wooed—but must determine whether Jacob is the man for her.
Salt-Water Moon stars Dolores Drake as Mary and Craig March as Jacob.
