Georgetown Little Theatre’s Frozen Dreams written by award-winning playwright Robert Ainsworth, directed by Pamela Niesiobedzki-Curtis and produced by Gina Van Raalte is a witty, lighthearted comedy; not your usual tale about the plight of the homeless.
The story takes place at an abandoned loading dock where Sam (Bart Penwarden) and Harry(Rob Pearce) are carping at each other. In enters Rainman (Shayne Coffin) a developmentally disabled youth, carrying a frozen turkey that some charity organization had given him.
The two older men decide to fulfill Rainman’s dreams by finding a way to cook his bird. Add to the mix a sympathetic public health nurse (Janice Van Olst), a super efficient police officer (Aaron Sawczak) and a scattered bag lady (Kathy Sanford) and you have the makings of a wonderful and touching story that reminds us all that one needs to dream, no matter what the circumstances.
