"Pay What You Will" on 11/7
First performed by Ross Valley Players exactly 50 years ago, it’s a modern version of Cinderella set in 1950’s Long Island. Sabrina Fairchild is the daughter of the Larabee family’s chauffer, and she’s just returned home from five years in Paris to find she’s still in love with David, the youngest Larabee son. When David’s brother Linus, a cynical tycoon who controls the family fortune, discovers Sabrina’s feelings, he pulls some strings to finally bring them together. A witty play that was the basis of the 1954 movie Sabrina, starring Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn.
