Last Chance to Catch "The First Day of Summer"

You only have one more chance to see the original drama The First Day of Summer! The final performance is Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at the Huntington Museum of Art.

I saw it Saturday night with my lovely wife and about a dozen good friends, and all I can say is: what a wonderful play!

Written and directed by Jonathan Joy, the show introduces us to Ron and Laney, two teens who meet in the woods near their homes during the summer.

They narrate the touching and often funny story of how they became friends, their encounters with other friends, enemies and schoolmates, and the effect they had on each other's life.

It's great to see young actors bring this story to life - they do amazing work here! So kudos to Thomas Armstrong, Cassi Bowen, Ayla Edwards, Sara Bryan, Madyelyn Hill, Rachel Lykens, Samuel Collins, Emily Bannon, Emily Underwood, Leslie Collins, Katie Fulks, Katlin Stricklin, Teddy Haddox and Delaney Waugh, along with the tech crew and the directing team on a job well done!

Highly recommended!
