Love Lost Diaries

Love Lost Diaries opens Guilford Center Stage’s 2024 season with the bittersweet comedy by Vermont playwright Marc Considine, showing at the Broad Brook Community Center on Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 5, at 2:00 p.m.

Marc Considine is a Hazen Union High School teacher in the Northeast Kingdom town of Hardwick.  He coaches the after-school drama club and has written several scripts.  Love Lost Diaries was written for his students to perform at the regional high school drama festival in St. Johnsbury in March 2013.  This production, a southern Vermont premiere, is the play’s first staging by a community theater group and continues Guilford Center Stage’s mission to present work by Vermont playwrights.

In this short play, three high school students have an interesting after-school pastime: They watch the obituaries and sneak into unoccupied houses looking for spare cash.  In this story, they are pulled into the lives of the deceased couple.

Julie Holland directs a cast of eight actors including Valentine Chute, Julie Holland, Brandy Reynolds,  Dyana Lee, Rich Cianflone, Nina Bond, Archer Holland, and Bob Brown. Nina Bond is the stage manager, and Ada Brown designed the scenic design. Don McLean is the producer of Guilford Center Stage’s 12th production.
