Lake Region Community Theatre will produce the romantic comedy, “Lovers and Other Strangers,” penned by husband-and-wife team Joe Bologna and Renee Taylor, on Jan. 25 and 26 at Lake Region High School’s auditorium.

Director Mary Bastoni knows that she likes to feel good when she goes to a show, which was one of the reasons for choosing this comedy.

“This show is great. I’m so excited. It’s a great group of people in the cast. I love working with Lake Region Community Theatre,” says Bastoni, who teaches voice lessons at USM, is a music teacher at the Robert Frost Charter School, owns a private studio in Fryeburg and has directed and performed in numerous shows throughout Maine and New Hampshire.

The hilarious Samuel French, Inc. production of Lovers and Other Strangers looks at the ridiculous, yet real problems of men, women and relationships. Set in the late 1960s, the show examines the impact of the women’s movement and explores the era’s emerging views on marriage, work, family and divorce.

The show features a charming and talented cast including Nathan Sipe, Shannon Oliver, Tom Rebmann, Barb Stauble, Tim Lorrain, Paula Easton, Katelyn Jaeger, Chris Madura, Vin Brown, Susie Mosca, Alec Perry and Keli Forke.
