On the back porch of a nursing home, new residents Weller and Fonsia, played by Tom Loughlin and ChrisTina Rausa, begin to know one another over games of gin. The porch’s stillness contrasts with the lively world inside, while visitors’ day quietly underscores their isolation. As the games repeat, Weller counts cards, ridicules fellow residents, resents being treated “like a child,” and grows increasingly furious at losing, while Fonsia keeps calling “gin” hand after hand. Tickets are $20 and available online at lakeshorecenterforthearts.com/gin-game.
