Featuring winners of the Friends Poetry Contest ‘SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY’ AT SEM Life - and death - in a small town The dearly departed members of the Spoon River community will describe the joys and sorrows of their lives on the stage of the Buckingham Performing Arts Center on North Sprague Avenue in Kingston, when the Wyoming Seminary Players present “Spoon River Anthology” on Friday and Saturday, April 29 and 30. In 1915, attorney and poet Edgar Lee Masters wrote an American poetry classic, describing the lives of hundreds of people who have died in the fictional rural Illinois town of Spoon River. In 1963 Charles Aidman adapted 70 poems from the antholo- gy into a stage play, arranging them to cre- ate a story that flows from one life to anoth- er. Through individual prose monologues and group vignettes, coupled with folk music and dance, the characters reveal the secrets they took with them to the grave. In his work Masters captured small-town life with all its poignancy, irony, reality and humor, qualities that are still present in American small towns, said Don Hopkins, Sem director. “In this timeless production we see a little of our history, and we come away with a bet- ter understanding of ourselves,” he said. Hopkins said the play is well suited to high school productions because it gives each of the student actors opportunities to speak in free verse to develop and portray several characters. Two Sem students also will perform folk music of the period on gui- tar, accordion and violin. The production, beginning at 8 p.m. each night, is open to the public. Tickets are $2 in advance and $3 at the door.
