“If you’ve been keeping up with Fairhaven Summer Repertory Theatre (FSRT) lately, you know this year’s theme is the American family…In keeping with the theme, Mark K***z of Bellingham TheatreWorks cast as many actual family members as possible in this year’s three shows. In Appropriate, Chris Cariker plays Bo, the father of Ainsley, who’s played by—you guessed it—his own son, Hatton Cariker. In Brighton Beach Memoirs, siblings Kellyann Walbeck and Sean Walbeck play Kate and Jack, a married couple and the parents of Eugene Jerome, Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical protagonist. And although they won’t be appearing onstage together, Dany Shaw and her daughter Chloe Shaw will appear in Appropriate and Brighton Beach Memoirs, respectively.” -Kelsey Tribble for FSRT
