The Newtowne Players Present Summertree by Ron Cowen Summertree is a drama set during an undisclosed war where a young man, just about to turn 20, is discovered dreaming in the backyard (or is it less friendly territory?), and the action of the play is mostly what happens in his head as he surveys his life up to this particular afternoon. Going backward and forward in time, we see the young man’s relationships with his well-meaning but obtuse father, his loving but possessive mother, and his compliant but unsentimental girlfriend. The Newtowne Players will perform Summertree Fridays through Sundays, July 11 to July 20, 2008. Friday and Saturday performances start at 8 p.m.; Sunday shows begin at 3:30 p.m. Performances are held at Three Notch Theatre on 21744 South Coral Drive in Lexington Park, Md. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and senior citizens, and $10 for children. Summertree is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc. You can make reservations for the show by calling 301-737-5447 or visiting the website at www.newtowneplayers.org.
