Closing their Mainstage Season, the Hangar Theatre presents Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning romantic comedy, Talley's Folly.

It is July 4, 1944 in Lebanon, Missouri. Matt Friedman (Jonas Cohen) has decided to once and for all declare his love for Sally Talley (Laurel Casillo) and to ask her hand in marriage. Sally struggles with the idea of the two living a life together, but as their time together progresses, it is clear that they have truly found the perfect match.

Laurel Casillo and Jonas Cohen are both making their acting debut with the Hangar Theatre in Talley's Folly. Casillo has performed regionally and in New York City including the Broadway production of Act One at the Lincoln Center Theatre. Cohen has most recently performed at the Capital Repertory Theatre in Albany where he played Cosme McMoon in Souvenir, and will be seen in the upcoming independent film Forgetting Sandy Glass.
