"I lost my wife two years ago and tonight is the first time since I lost her that I laughed again." That, says actor Daryl Marks, is the sort of positive reaction he received following the opening night performance of Looking, a Scarborough Players production about love. The play runs at Theatre Scarborough until Sept. 28.

The spotlights are shining bright. Wooden structures are waiting to be transformed into a hotel room stage set. A crew shows up after work to put in another long night’s effort into the rehearsal. Welcome to community theatre.
