"A car wreck on the slopes of Mt. Morgan lands poet/insurance tycoon Lyman Felt in the hospital. While he recovers, two women meet in the hospital to discover that they are both married to him. Lyman tries to justify himself to the two women--the prim, cultured Theo and the restless, ambitious Leah -- at the same time hoping to convince himself that he is blameless.
Moving between broad farce and delicate tragedy, “The Ride Down Mt. Morgan” addresses the struggle between honesty with others and honesty with oneself."
Todd W. Jones of Colonia is the director and Joyce Porter of Piscataway is the producer.
In the cast are Alison Byrne, Metuchen; Jean Habrukowich, Somerset; Leonie Infantry, Somerset; Joe Porter, Piscataway; Victoria Porterfield, Basking Ridge; and Gordon Wiener, Martinsville.
A wine and cheese reception will follow the opening night performance.
