‘Last Gas’
Little Lake Theatre Company announces the area premiere of “Last Gas,” opening on July 9. The fourth installment of Little Lakes Mainstage series of plays is “heartbreaking, hopeful and honest,” said artistic director Roxy MtJoy. “It will move you and make you laugh; it is full of all of the crazy contradictions that make up real life.”
Nat Paradis’ old high school flame returns for her mother’s funeral and walks into the convenience store Nat and his dad run in rural Northern Maine (“Last chance to use a landline for 38 miles!”). Suddenly, Nat comes face to face with a chance to “get back to happy.” With a cast of delightful characters putting their noses into Nat’s business, this exploration of lost love, love that’s not quite right, and love that is just right, John Cariani pens a funny and touching everyday love story.
Directed by MtJoy, “Last Gas” features James Curry, Rebekah Hukill, Mary Liz Meyer, John Michnya, Michael Petrucci and Phil Powell.
“This cast has a great mix of exciting Little Lake newcomers like John Michnya and Michael Petrucci and talented vets like James Curry and Mary Liz Meyer,” said MtJoy. “I think audiences are going to fall in love with each of their characters.”
