Harstine Island troupe stages Neil Simon play

The Harstine Island Theatre Club stages the Neil Simon play “Rose & Walsh” at 7:30 p.m. tonight and Friday, and 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Harstine Island Community Club, 3371 E. Harstine Island Road N. To get to the club, take a left off the Harstine Island bridge and drive about 3 miles.

Admission is $15. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at the Olympic Bakery on Pickering Road and Williams Flowers in downtown Shelton.

The play follows two great literary figures and portrays the depth and consequences of their enduring love. Rose, a celebrated but near-penniless author, receives nightly visits from the recently deceased Walsh, the love of her life and a famous writer himself. Now Walsh must go away forever, but not before securing Rose’s financial future with an extraordinary proposal that promises to change everything.
