Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Town Players of Newtown is delaying the opening of its production of I Never Sang For My Father.

Originally planned to open Friday, September 20, the presentation of Robert Anderson’s drama will instead open at The Little Theatre on Friday, September 27. Performances will now continue weekends to October 13, with shows scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 pm and Sunday afternoons at 2.

Those who already purchased tickets for September 20-22 should see a refund to the card they used by September 19 (10 business days of the postponement’s September 9 announcement). The theater is unable to manually change dates in its ticketing system.

Those who do not see refunds should contact the theater at info@newtownplayers.org.

Gus Bottazzi is directing the show, which shares the story of Gene Garrison, whose life with his father has never been easy. When his parents return from a winter in Florida, however, his mother’s health has deteriorated, and Gene must take greater responsibility for his difficult father.

Tickets are $30 for all shows. Seating is general admission. Visit newtownplayers.org for tickets.

The Little Theatre is at 18 Orchard Hill Road.
