Evergreen Players present the Regional Premiere of REMAINING IN ORBIT by Colorado Playwright, Scott Gibson January 13 - 29 in Evergreen, CO. Henry "Hen" Loudin, a self-absorbed middle-aged man has shut himself off from the distractions and annoyances of the outside world, aided by his opinionated assistant Ginnie who runs errands--and interference--on his behalf. One day, Hen's neighbor, the free-spirited Lissie bursts into his life, creating havoc with his well-ordered existence. A seriocomic examination of co-dependence between three slightly dysfunctional people each seeking a chance at happily-ever-after.
The cast, under the direction of Len Matheo, includes John Samson as Hen, Megan Heffernan as Ginny and Rachel Graham as Lissie.
