The Recruiting Officer
American Players Theatre, Spring Green 5950 Golf Course Road, Spring Green, Wisconsin 53588
Recruiting officers travel from port to port in this uproarious Restoration comedy by George Farquhar, wooing men into service at sea, and women into their beds. Two such men, Worthy (Juan Rivera Lebron) and Plume (Nate Burger), land in Shrewsbury — each in love with a woman who lives there. Worthy has asked Melinda (Andrea San Miguel) to be his mistress — an offer she declined. Meanwhile, Plume is in love with Melinda’s cousin Sylvia (Kelsey Brennan). But Sylvia, grieving her brother’s recent death, disguises herself as a man to get away for a while, throwing everyone’s plans into chaos. See this crazy comedy first, then get your tickets for Our Country’s Good, which uses this play in its decidedly more serious plot.
June 22-Sept. 29.
Featuring: Kelsey Brennan, Nate Burger, Tim Gittings, Juan Rivera Lebron, Brian Mani, Cristina Panfilio, Andrea San Miguel, Marcus Truschinski
