Arctic Playhouse’s current show is “Visiting Mr. Green” by Jeff Baron. Eighty-six year old widower Mr. Green is almost hit by a car driven by young corporate executive Ross Gardiner. When Ross is found guilty of reckless driving, he is ordered to spend the next six months making weekly visits to Mr. Green. The show starts off as a comedy with the two characters bickering with each other and resenting being in the same room. It soon becomes more dramatic when family secrets are revealed and old wounds opened up. It deals with accepting the reality of life while dealing with one’s traditions, their family and accepting the changing world around us. Director Sandy Cerel keeps the comic moments flowing wonderfully at the start of the show during their arguments. However as their relationship continues to evolve the two men finally form a bond that turns things into a heartwarming moment between them.The audience is greatly moved by the acting prowess of both these superb actors in this thought provoking play.
