There are roles for 3 men and 4 women ranging in age from in their 20s to their 50s.  There will also be a need for persons to help behind the scenes in set design, decoration and building, lights and sound, costuming and staging." This masterful suspense tale by the author of  "Same Time, Next Year; and "You Say Tomatoes,"  involves a successful mystery writer whose latest work has strangely turned into a vivid and adulterous romance. His son, his second wife and his editor marvel at the truthfulness of the work, remarkable since it is inconceivable that he could ever have had such an affair. Enter a woman, who is intent on blackmail and whose story is foolproof and airtight: it appears that Arthur has been trysting away from home. Death stalks: the other woman disappears and evidence incriminates Arthur in her murder. There is a conspiracy to do Arthur in, a conspiracy that entails cunning, deceit and ingenious plotting. "Highly entertaining says." The Herald. "A sophisticated whodunit which manages to keep the audience on tender hooks until the end touts" The Advertiser.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT - Comedy by Nick Hall, Director - Debby Rhein
3M,2F, Int (Dec. 28, 2006 - Jan 20, 2007, w/ New Year’s Eve Gala Sun. Dec. 31, 2006 / Auditions Nov 5 & 6, 2006)

Charlie's an out of work actor currently working as a waiter. The scene is a series of hilarious encounters in Manhattan restaurants both elegant and shabby. By changing the tablecloths in the course of the action, the basic setting of three tables and six chairs becomes another place. The action's uninterrupted and the comedy never stops. The other performers play several parts; the girl desperately trying to eat snails and oysters to please her fiancé, the middle aged lovers so intent on each other they cannot order dinner; the rich, embittered astrologer; the timid man who never gets a waiter; the agents, directors, actors, and waiters. An amusing gallery of characters whose stories intertwine and finally involve Charlie. ". . . a sharp, stunning play. It'll make you howl but better yet, it might even make you sniffle a bit." Fort Lauderdale News. "Tightly written and very, very entertaining. I recommend it enthusiastically." Miami Herald.

AND MISS REARDON DRINKS A LITTLE - Comedy/Drama by Paul Zindel, Director - Marj Nylund
2M,5F (Mar. 1 - Mar. 24, 2007 / Auditions Jan. 7 & 8, 2007)

Their father having deserted them in their childhood, the three Reardon sisters have grown up in a house of women, dominated by their mother, who is only recently dead. But time has erased the tender closeness of girlhood; one sister has married and cut herself off; another has begun to drink more than she should; and the third, after a scandalous incident at the school where she teaches, is on the brink of madness. When the married sister comes to dinner to press the need for committing her sibling to an institution, the simmering resentments of many years burst alive and are exacerbated by the intrusion of a well-meaning but boorish neighbor couple, whose unexpected arrival impels the action towards its shattering conclusion in which all the pathos, humor and searing honesty of the play combine with overwhelming effect.

SORDID LIVES - Comedy by Del Shores, Director - Matt Blakeman
6M,6F (May 3 - May 26, 2007 / Auditions Mar. 18 & 19, 2007)

The author of Daddy's Dyin' (Who's Got the Will?) brings you a Comedy that was nominated for over thirty awards during its long run in Los Angeles. When Peggy, a good Christian woman, hits her head on the sink and bleeds to death after tripping over her lover's wooden legs in a motel room, chaos erupts in Winters, Texas. "[This play by] the master of Texas Comedy ... is maybe funnier than Daddy's Dyin'. His colorful eccentrics are dead on, teetering on a Bowie knife's edge between the hilarious improbable and the achingly real." L.A. Times. "Run, don't walk to Del Shores new play!" DramaLogue. "Pick of the Week." L.A. Weekly . Winner of 14 DramaLogue awards including Best Production.

BULLSHOT CRUMMOND - Farce by Ron House, Diz White, Alan Sherman, John Neville Andrews and Derek Cunningham, Director - Stina Seeger-Gibson 3M,2F (Jul. 5 - Sept. 1, 2007 / Auditions May 13 & 14, 2007)

This parody of low budget 30s detective movies typifies British heroism. Teutonic villain Otto von Brunno and his evil mistress crash their plane in the English countryside and kidnap Professor Fenton who has discovered a formula for making synthetic diamonds. Bullshot Crummond is called to the rescue. Otto paralyzes Crummond with a fiendish ray. He rams a stick of dynamite in Crummond's mouth which will explode when the next person enters the room. Rosemary enters, but the static electricity in her fur wrap averts the detonation. They pursue in a hair raising car chase, but plunge over a cliff. They sneak into the dungeons where the professor is being tortured, but Crummond hopelessly loses the ensuing saber duel. Unperturbed, Crummond finally triumphs by shooting the rest of the cast. "Uproarious." Int. Herald Tribune . "Marvelous." London Sunday Telegraph.
