A thrilling cast and smart direction make this production of Morning’s at Seven an absolute delight. Dan Wackerman handily directs this cavalcade of brilliance: Lindsay Crouse, Alma Cuervo, Dan Lauria, Patty McCormack, Tony Roberts, John Rubinstein, Keri Safran, Jonathan Spivey, and astounding Alley Mills, once Lauria’s costar on TV’s The Wonder Years, who stepped in for the injured Judith Ivey and learned the play in a week.
Morning’s at Seven was written by Paul Osborn and originally produced on Broadway in 1939, starring Dorothy Gish. Set in the early 1920s, it follows four sisters and their families, navigating musings on home, family dynamics, and the need for fulfillment.
