The Washington Street Players is in full swing again this month, performing Crimes of the Heart—by playwright Beth Henley, on November 6th and 7th, and November 13 & 14, at Holliston’s Upper Town Hall at 8 p.m. “It’s a pretty well-known play,” says WSP Director Alecia Thomas, who takes the reins as director with the group for the first time with this play.

“Meg,” is played by Olivia Moriarty, a graduate of Emerson College, who lives in Framingham, and “Lenny,” the oldest sister, is played by a Holliston teacher and Medway resident Chrissy Petersen. “I was looking for plays with a lot of women, because we tend to definitely get more women than men to audition, and our group is made up of mostly women. It just seems to be who we get,” says Thomas. “This is four women and two men, and it’s just a great, meaty drama with a lot of super interesting characters. There’s a lot of good stuff for actors to kind of sink their teeth into,” she adds. In addition to the three sisters is a cousin named “Chick,” played by Colleen Locke, of Ashland.
