  • L.C. Bernadine: The Meaningful Action Theatre Company Presents A Workshop Reading Of "Muffed: A Recounting Of Farmington, Maine's 43rd Annual Chester Greenwood Day Devised By The Members Of The Meaningful Action Theatre Company" by Zack Peercy
    “

    An inventive, hilarious portrait of a small town theater company battling the most eccentric of forces as they interview community residents and attempt to devise a piece celebrating the local (and real!) small town hero Chester Greenwood, inventor of the earmuff--- "an innovation just in the periphery of what's important, that takes someone truly special to show us how necessary it was." MUFFED is an affectionate send-up of the obsessions that drive individuals and bind together communities.

    Well this play is delightful and thoughtful in the best ways possible. A little mystery, a little supernatural, a lot of small town politics and characters, and a pragmatic indictment of theatre company's and the stipends they pay, "Muffed..." is a masterful work. Peercy plays with tropes and cliches in a genuine way that lends an authenticity to the storytelling. The weaving of narratives is superb. I think any company would have the best time putting this show up and it really deserves it.
