Lemon Tree at Theater294

Rich Jimenez directs Judith Anderson, Robert Hagan, Adrienne Pellegrino and Jennifer Alexander in this new play by Claude Solnik about the joys and anguish of love. The show, whose title comes from the song "Lemon Tree," follows Claire (Judith Anderson) as she encounters and becomes involved with Deuce (Robert Hagan) even as her daughter Rebecca (Adrienne Pellegrino) tries to put the brakes on their relationship. Jennifer Alexander as Rita acts as both the voice of reason and a kind of reluctant matchmaker in this play that looks at what we gain and lose when we discover each other later in life. Performances are Fri. Oct. 21 @ 7 p.m.; Fri. Oct. 28 @ 7 p.m., Sun. Oct. 30 @ 2 p.m., Sat. Nov. 5 @ 7 p.m. and Sun. Nov. 6 @ 2 p.m.
