Stones in His Pockets opens at Dorset Playhouse
Mar 7 2025 - Mar 9 2025 • Time: See Event Details
The Dorset Players and The Inns of Dorset invite you to see what happens when a Hollywood film crew descends on a small Irish town. One story, is the play “Stones in His Pockets” by Marie Jones and directed by Todd Hjelt. Performances will be at the Dorset Playhouse, 104 Cheney Rd., Dorset, VT, March 7-9,2025.
Set against the small-town backdrop, the story follows two down on their luck Irish men, Jake Quinn (Jeff Cox) and Charlie Conlon (Tom Martins) working as extras in a big Hollywood film. This tale weaves a combination of characters that range from the people of the town, funny, flawed and brimming with hope, to the film crew and eventually the female star of the movie Caroline Giovanni. All 14 characters are effortlessly played by the two actors in a dizzying display that has most of the character transitions happening on stage right before your very eyes. As the story and relationship between our two stars evolves, the play takes us on a journey of love, death, laughter and pathos that reminds us who we can be when we let ourselves dream.
This special presentation sponsored by H. N. Williams is one weekend only. Don’t miss it! March 7 & 8, 2025 at 7:30PM and March 9, 2025 at 2PM. Tickets are available now at dorsetplayers.org or call 802-867-5777.
