The Guyer Girls

Dreamchasers Theatre Arts Center of Norwell presented four performances of the wonderfully moving play “The Guyer Girls” by Trisha Sugarek. This play is reminiscent of both “Little Women” and “I Remember Mama”. It is unique in that the script is based upon true stories told to the young Guyer girls about the Guyer women.

In the play, Sophia and Levi Guyer migrate to America and move out west to raise their family. Act One is set in the early 1900s, and we see the girls as teenagers who then progress to becoming young women who in turn have their own children and make their own life decisions, some good and some bad. In Act Two the “girls” are now young women who struggle to keep their families whole amidst the turmoil of Pearl Harbor aided at all times by the wisdom and love of their Mama. This play abounds with laughter, tears, love, and sibling rivalry galore. It is a rich and colorful tapestry of an American family.

Thanks to Raisa Hoffman for sharing these great pictures from the show!
