Celebrationworks proudly presents the World Premiere of Scott Gibson’s
Your Dilly Dilly Heart
A play for anyone who’s ever loved and lost and loved again.
Beau, (played by Anthony Bianco) wants to tell his high school girlfriend all the things left unsaid when he was sent away to a juvenile work farm, but, Danielle, (played by the delicious Catharine Pilafas) won’t take his phone calls. The only way Beau figures to get to Danielle is by abducting Janis and Merle, two vacationing widows of a certain age. Not his best move. Merle and Janis, (played by veteran actresses, Nita Froelich and Nancy Thomas) are not exactly stereotypical, sweet old ladies and they reveal more than a few surprises. Moving seamlessly in and out of time, “Your Dilly Dilly Heart,” takes place over twenty four hours in a dilapidated motel room. Before the story is done, Beau is briefly re-united with Danielle, and learns the truth about love from her, Janis and Merle.
