Tripp Star-Ledger


Maid to Order

An uninterested Gerald Mallinger (played by Andrew Schneider) reacts to the flirting of Winnie Cambin (played by Angie Stonefield) during the Tripp Area Community Theater’s production of Maid to Order June 2 at Idle Hour Theatre. The production was the first play put on by the theater troupe utilizing adult talent, and future plays are in the plans, according to organizers. “I’ve heard good feedback,” TACT Secretary Jennifer Gemar, who was cast in the play, said. “(The community) wants to see more, and there are people who want to try out for the next one.” The next production is expected to happen toward the end of the year, although the board of directors has not yet met to discuss any concrete plans. Gemar said 215 tickets were told--many of them repeat viewers on the second night. “I’d give it a 10,” she said. “I thought it was a great ... nice, shorter ... comedy. ....There was lots of laughter.”
