Four couples. Four stories. One apartment. One wedding ring.

“With This Ring” is the story of a wedding band that travels over five generations and the changing beliefs over a 100- year span. Written by Joe Simonelli and directed by Beverly Dahlstrom, “With This Ring” is a play with love in mind.

“After this pandemic year, we can all use a reminder that life carries on,” says director Beverly Dahlstrom. The ring is first given at the turn of the 19th century (Tina Cedras as Bridgette and Jay Terzis as Sean). It then skips a generation and then pops up again in the 1960s, (Emery Puls as Mattie and Charlie Blum as Joe). Then, the couple’s grandson inherits it, has it inscribed, and presents it to his new wife. (Gregg Birr as Paul and Kim Fisackerly as Karen). After the ring endures a divorce, it finally comes full circle. (Kenny Howard as Frankie, Kenneth Hardcastle as Bobby and Penelope Puchie as Liz.)

“With This Ring” is on stage April 21 – May 9 at The Marco Players Theater, Marco Town Center Mall, 1089 N. Collier Blvd. Shows are Wed.- Sat. at 8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. General admission tickets are $38.50. Seating is at 50% capacity, masks or shields are required, and the theater is sanitized before every show.

Patrons are invited to donate to the Staying Afloat Campaign, a fundraiser designed to keep the theater open for the remainder of the season and plan for the next. Tickets are available at www.The- MarcoPlayers.com or by calling the box office at 239-642-7270. ¦
