own alienation and escape from an alco
holic father, a neglectful mother and a
chronically sick brother.
The historical significance of the pro
duction is not lost on Liam Gearity,
whose role as Wolfe’s alter-ego Eugene
Gant marks his Play Makers debut.
“When this came around, I knew it
was the anniversary of (Wolfe’s) birth,
and it became an exciting time to do it,”
Gearity said. “It’s a great part, and it was
a production I really wanted to join.
“Chapel Hill was his sanctuary, much
more than a college - Chapel Hill
became kind of a heaven for him.”
Broadway veteran Jonathan Bolt,
who plays Eugene’s father, made his
professional debut in the original
Broadway production of “Look

“(Wolfe) spoke to all of us young men
who were about to search the big
world,” Bolt said. “And 42 years later, I
have grown into the other role ... It’s a
real thrill to come back to the play that
started your career.”
Play Makers has a long history with
Wolfe beyond the play’s forthcoming
run. In addition to the “Look
Homeward, Angel” production, Wolfe
was a founding member of the Carolina
Play Makers in 1918, which became the
professional Play Makers Repertory in
1976.
“Look Homeward, Angel,” will open
on Saturday at 8 p.m., and will run
through Nov. 12. Call 962-7529 for tick
