In a cozy beachfront house in eastern Long Island, a literary icon named Rose (Rosemary Cline), celebrated but in dire financial straits, receives nightly visits from Walsh (Andrew Botsford), the love of her life and a famous writer in his own right.\r\n\r\nUnnerved by Walsh\u2019s revelation of an unexpected yet imminent departure, Rose learns that he intends to help secure her financial future through a unique creative partnership. The plan promises to change everything \u2013 not only for the two longtime lovers, but also for Rose\u2019s talented and selfless assistant Arlene (Alaina Manzo), as well as a brash young writer, Gavin Clancy (Alexander Massaad), whose cynicism rises to the surface when Rose summons him to her home with an unusual proposal. <div class=\"su-accordion su-u-trim\"> <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>GENERAL INFO<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\r\n<br \/>\r\n<div class=\"organic-column one-half\"> <br \/>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02-194x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02-663x1024.jpg 663w, https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02-768x1187.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02-994x1536.jpg 994w, https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02-1325x2048.jpg 1325w, https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02-414x640.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.hamptontheatre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/POSTER-ROSE-WALSH-DATE-ONLY-02.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/>\r\n<h5>by Neil Simon<\/h5>\r\nDirector &#8211; George A.

Kicking off their incredible 39th season, the adorable Quogue, Long Island, venue has assembled a stellar company strongly directed by George Loizides. The four-person cast works well together with great chemistry. Indeed, based on the very enthusiastic reception of the audience opening weekend, you may want to get your tickets quickly.\r\n\u2028Running through November 5th, the emotional play is truly gripping with plot twists galore. This is Mr. Simon&#8217;s final play, initially entitled Rose&#8217;s Dilemma. It is set on the eastern Long Island (okay, so maybe the excited audience was a little biased) following a literary giant named Rose Steiner, portrayed superbly by Rosemary Cline. In hopes of improving her current financial situation, Rose gets advice from her partner, Walsh McLaren, portrayed wonderfully by Andrew Botsford. We see a plan develop to help Rose with the additional assistance of Arlene Moss, portrayed excellently by Alaina Manzo, and Gavin Clancy, an up-and-coming writer portrayed strongly by Alexander Massaad.\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFrankly, telling you more, I feel, would take away from the mystique and mystery of this fantastic show with these great actors. So, as a fellow audience member I&#8217;ll say this: Being the many twists and turns the story takes, I urge you to focus your full attention when you see this show.\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn the clever creative team, Mr. Loizides&#8217; set with Ricky Bottenus and Meg Sexton is well done. The tale takes place solely in the living room of Rose&#8217;s Hampton&#8217;s beach house in the mid-1980s. A gorgeous, lush couch sits center stage, the white walls are adorned with beautiful photos, and a bar is off to the side. This is heightened by Sebastian Paczynski&#8217;s atmospheric lighting and kudos to Teresa LeBrun for the wonder costumes. It is a visually stunning production.\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAnd so, Hampton Theatre Company&#8217;s incarnation of Rose And Walsh is certainly a must-see this Fall. Get to your local theatres, folks. A great cast, an intriguing tale, and a beautiful, crisp Hampton night make for a fun time at the theatre.\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<hr>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n<strong>Review by T. J. Clemente, Hamptons.com<\/strong>\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\nJudging by the enthusiastic applause, Neil Simon\u2019s play \u201cRose and Walsh,\u201d currently in production by the Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue, is a resounding success. It serves as the opening act for the Hampton Theatre Company\u2019s 39th season, and Director George A. Loizides deserves applause for his exceptional work in staging this comedy.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nThe four-actor ensemble comes together seamlessly, creating a performance so delightful that I found myself never wanting it to end. The energy and chemistry on stage are exceptionally natural, keeping the audience engaged without a glance at their watches \u2013 instead, they\u2019re laughing and clapping. \u201cRose and Walsh\u201d is set to run until November 5th at Quogue Community Hall.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nThere are numerous reasons to enjoy this production. Neil Simon\u2019s play boasts a unique local appeal, with one of the characters, Gavin Clancy, scripted as a Quogue resident. This adds to the joyous and lively atmosphere. After all, who can appreciate Simon\u2019s witty one-liners about Quogue better than the actual Quogue Community Hall audience?\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nRosemary Cline, a beloved actor of both the Hampton Theatre Company and East End theater, delivers a remarkable performance as \u201cRose.\u201d Her talent shines through in every gesture, eye-roll, perfectly timed moment, and line delivery. The audience is captivated from the very beginning, as demonstrated by the thunderous applause during the curtain call \u2013 a well-deserved \u201cBrava.\u201d\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nThe iconic Andrew Botsford takes on the role of \u201cWalsh\u201d and truly appears born for the part. Botsford\u2019s masterful performance showcases grace, dignity, and impeccable timing. His presence under the stage lights makes the production flow effortlessly, like water to the sea. Botsford stands as one of the pillars of talent that consistently propels the Hampton Theatre Company to success.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nAlaina Manzo, portraying \u201cArlene Moss,\u201d and Alexander Massaad, in the role of \u201cGavin Clancy,\u201d both offer notable performances, with each seizing wonderful scene-stealing moments throughout the show.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nWhile the cast may consist of just four actors, it takes a dedicated team to make this show such a triumph. Special thanks to producer Roger Moley. Kudos for the beautifully crafted set go to set designer George A. Loizides, who is also the director, along with resident designers\/builders Ricky Bottenus and Meg Sexton. Lighting design is by Sebastian Paczynski, with sound design by Seamus Naughton. Costumes are skillfully handled by Teresa Lebrun. Terrance Fiore manages the rehearsal stage and shares production stage management duties with Laurie Atlas. Michael Sean Jones is in charge of lighting and sound, and let\u2019s not forget the much-appreciated Julia Morgan Abrams, the house manager. Last but certainly not least, a big thank you to Hampton Theatre Company General Manager Terry Brennan for their invaluable contributions.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nFor an evening of entertaining live theater, be sure to catch the Hampton Theatre Company\u2019s production of Neil Simon\u2019s \u201cRose and Walsh.\u201d This is a truly outstanding show.\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<!--&#091;su_spoiler title=\"AUDIENCE COMMENTS\" open=\"no\" style=\"fancy\"&#093;\r\n&#091;\/su_spoiler&#093;--> \r\n\r\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>DIRECTIONS<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\r\n<strong>FROM SUNRISE HIGHWAY (ROUTE-27):<\/strong><br \/>\r\nSunrise Highway (Route 27) to exit 64S (Rte. 104 to Quogue).
