PORTSMOUTH – An original play, America America, written and directed by Joan Bigwood, performed in English and Spanish (with the projection of English subtitles), will be on stage at the Players’ Ring Theatre from April 5 through April 19. After 17 years of marriage, venture capitalist Mark Porter (played by Brian Miskinis) finally agrees to the idea of hiring a cleaning lady. He wants his wife Jane (Jill Maloney) to know he supports her fitness regimen and other hobbies. But why now? The Porters find Modesta (Lina Carrillo Tracey) who has been praying for a new job. She has lived in the United States for over 30 years, but her English is very poor. Nevertheless, a strong bond forms between Jane and Modesta. He wants his wife Jane to know he supports her fitness regimen and other hobbies. Or could it be because she suspects he is cheating? The Porters find Modesta and a special friendship seems to develop between Jane and Modesta. April 5 through April 19. Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. This show is included in our subscription packages.
