a handsome, successful diplomat, and
most importantly, he's interested in her.

For the cast and crew at Barefoot
Productions, Kind Sir is asmuch a comedy
of errors as a retro love story. Director
Craig A. Hane, who will stage the play for
the Plymouth-based community theater,
wants audiences to appreciate both the
quick-witteddialogue and the romance.
Classic film fans may recognize the play
as the inspiration behind the 1958 film
Indiscreet with Cary Grant and Ingrid
Bergman in the leads. As a fan of both ver-
sions, Hane used the filmas inspiration for
recreating the high-society glamour of
1950sNewYork, he said.
This stage version features Adam
Weakley of Whitmore Lake and Maureen
Paraventi of Redford in their breakout
roles on the Barefoot Productions stage.
Ms. Paraventi narrated readings of The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow and A Christmas
Carol earlier this season; Mr. Weakley, a
regular in the Ann Arbor theater scene,
will performwithBarefoot Productions for
the first time. Chris Steves of Woodhaven,
David Alexander of Redford, and Ann
Arbor residents Eric Bloch and Linda
McCalister round out the cast as two cou-
ples who conspire to bring the protagonists
together.
Kind Sir opens at 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at the
Barefoot Productions Theater, 240 N. Main
St. Plymouth with performances Fridays,
Saturdays, and Sundays through Feb. 24.
