Mauritius at The Gamm
at the The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre
Every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday from 10/21/2010 to 11/21/2010
The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) is pleased to stage the Rhode Island premiere of Mauritius. Veteran playwright Theresa Rebeck's 2007 Broadway hit weaves acts of betrayal, bad behavior and power shifts into what The New York Times calls "a corkscrew-twist drama of suspense" about a tenuous sibling relationship and the unlikely subject of rare stamps.
Rachel Walshe, visiting artistic director for Providence's Perishable Theatre, directs Gamm Resident Actor Casey Seymour Kim and Amanda Ruggiero as half-sisters who inherit a stamp collection containing possibly invaluable Victorian-era stamps issued from the island of Mauritius (pronounced "More-ishes"). Gamm Resident Actors Steve Kidd and Jim O'Brien, and frequent Gamm actor Richard Donelly form a trio of squabbling stamp collectors with mixed motives and a single goal: to get their hands on the "crown jewel of philately."
Tickets are $30 and $40 (depending on day/time), preview and press performances (Oct. 21-25) only $25. Discounts for subscribers, groups of 10 or more, seniors and students. For tickets call 401-723-4266 or go to gammtheatre.org.

The Gamm presents plays of substance and distinction, acted with excellence and offered to the public in an intimate setting that allows the audience to be immersed fully in the ambiance of the production and the interchange between the actors themselves, and between the actors and the audience.
In 2003, the Gamm moved into its new home, the Pawtucket Armory, since renamed the Arts Exchange. The Arts Exchange is poised to be an exciting venue for the arts, and the large drill hall is often used for events, such as the Annual Foundry Artists Show.
