"Hay Fever"
Come and meet the whackiest family in town - the Bliss's. There's Judith (Jean Ryder), mother and retired actress, her husband David (Richard Langbein), Sorel, the daughter (Julia Reid) and artist son Simon (Martin Reld). To the Bliss household one weekend, each invites an acquaintance - a diplomat (Howard Mathison), a society type (Joyce MacKertzie), a shy young thing Jackie Coryton (Sandra landreth) and an athletic type, Sandy Tyrell (Richard Jenkins). The other member Of the household that weekend was the rather slap-happy maid Clara (Betty McLean). What happens to this Bohemian family and its guests you will learn in "Hay Fever", a comedy which the Nelson Repertory, under producer Barbara Campbeii, will run for a week from today. The play is set in the early twenties and the costuming alone will raise a tremendous laugh.
