Morning’s at Seven, a Comedy by Paul Osborn.
The Middlebury Community Players’ production of Paul Osborn’s warm and heartfelt comedy Morning’s at Seven at Town Hall Theater took place at Middlebury’ Town Hall Theater February 20—23, 2025. This Tony Award-winning classic focuses on the four aging Gibbs sisters and their husbands living a stone’s throw away from each other in a small midwestern town in 1928 and the reactions within the family when 40-year-old Homer announces he’s finally going to marry his girlfriend of the last 12 years and move out. Long-simmering resentments, rivalries, betrayals, misunderstandings, and familial bickering ensue. A charming, heartfelt comedy by Paul Osborn
