"Coastal Disturbances" is set
on a private beach along the northern shore of Massachusetts. The
story chronicles four generations of vacationers and focuses on
the budding romance between a handsome lifeguard named Leo and a
kooky young photographer named Holly Dancer. This Broadway hit is
daring and experimental in its uncynical approach to love and
romance. The New York Times described "Coastal Disturbances" as "a
modern play about love that is, for once, actually about love."
The role of Faith Bigelow is
played by Betsy Buttell, daughter of Mark and Linda Buttell of
Lincoln. She is a recent graduate of Lincoln Community High School
and is active at Lincoln College as a member of Sophistikatz and
the Lincoln College Chorale. She plans to transfer to a four-year
university to study theater.
Tony Crawford will play Dr.
Hamilton Adams. Crawford plans to transfer to Southern Illinois
University Carbondale to earn a degree in theater. He is the son
of John and Lucretia Crawford of Clinton and resides in Lincoln
with his wife, Sarah.
Nick King, who has been cast
as Leo Hart, is a 2000 graduate of Lincoln Community High School.
He is the son of Alan and Gail King of Lincoln.
