Nevada Daily Mail

The Community Council on the Performing Arts kicks off the 2014-15 season with Ellen Simon's dramatic comedy "Moonlight and Valentino."

The story follows the life of college poetry professor Rebecca Trager Lott after her husband is killed during a jogging accident. Rebecca is surrounded by a support system made up of her chain-smoking sister, best friend who is dealing with an unhappy marriage, and her former stepmother who is an out-of-touch Wall Street executive. Rebecca once again finds love in Valentino, the man who is hired to paint her house. Valentino not only impacts Rebecca, but her whole support system as well.

Moonlight and Valentino is under the direction of Lynda Jones; the cast features Kim Bessey, Jane Ann Hancock, Stephanie Mosbrucker, Jenna Weston, and Zach Shepard. Please note this production contains some adult content.

There will be six performances over two weekends. The show opens this weekend with performances Friday, and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. The play will again be performed Friday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 11 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 12 at 2 p.m. There is a charge for admission.

All performances will be held at the Fox Playhouse, 110 S. Main.
