Westfield Community Players presents "Morning's at Seven"

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 09/22/2026

(WESTFIELD, NJ) -- Westfield Community Players presents Morning's at Seven across three weekends from October 3-18, 2026. An American classic written by Paul Osborn, Morning's at Seven centers around four aging sisters and their families living in a small Midwestern town in the late 1930's.

What appears to be a simple story is nothing but as it deals with the ramifications within as two family members begin to question their lives & want to make changes before it is too late. While dealing with hidden resentments and unfulfilled dreams, it is also a heartwarming, touching, sometimes comical story about the true love & devotion of family.

The cast includes Alex Oleksij (Thor Swanson), Jackie Levine (Cora Swanson), Debbie Badal (Aaronetta Gibbs), Tara Spinelli (Ida Bolton), Allen Robert (Carl Bolton), Sharon McGuire (Ester Crampton), David Williams (David Crampton), Dale Monroe (Homer Bolton), and Amy Lewis (Myrtle Brown).

The production is directed by Greg Northam and produced by Linda Viel.

Performances take place October 3, 9, 10, 17 at 8:00pm and October 4, 11, 18 at 2:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. The theater is located at 1000 North Avenue W. in Westfield, New Jersey.
