Theatre People, or The Angel Next Door by Paul Slade Smith
Directed by Ric Goodwin
Sept. 2 - Sept. 20, 2026
Oliver Adams is on the brink of success. His novel The Angel Next Door is set to be published, and famed Broadway playwrights Charlotte and Arthur Sanders have already adapted his book for what is sure to be a huge stage hit. And who do they have their eye on as the leading lady? Margot Bell, of course, the very person Oliver adores and about whom he has written his novel (although he hasn’t told her yet). When they all converge for a weekend in Newport, Rhode Island, the thin walls of the mansion reveal that the angel may not be angelic, and only the power of theatre can save the play, Oliver’s novel, and, perhaps most importantly, his heart.
