The Smell of the Kill by Michele Love
(May1-3, May 8-10, May 15-17)
A tantalizing, fun, and dark comedy that leaves you wondering what’s next. Take three delicious, malicious wives, add three miserable, unloving husbands—and chill. The Smell of the Kill revolves around Nicky, Debra and Molly who have tolerated one another during once-a-month dinners for years. While their unseen spouses play golf in the dining room, the women exchange confidences for the first time. Revealing that their marriages are on the brink of disaster, and they are facing the challenges of their lives. One by one the women make their choices with more than a little help from one another.
Check Back for Ticket Sales! (ps. I hear there is to be a matinee one Saturday too.)
Beatle Girls By Todd Olson
July 3-5, July 10-12, July 17-19
Nora Sweeney was a teenager when she ran the Beatles Fan Club with a room full of other excited girls, writing the newsletter, answering fan letters, and enlisting the “four lads” to give them everything from autographs to wisps of hair to mail to thrilled fans world-wide. Now Freda and her girlfriends – all decades older – go back in time and tell the inside story of what life was like as the British Invasion began and the phenomena that was “The Fab Four” emerged from post-war Liverpool. A close ensemble of 6 actresses play everybody in the ever-changing world of the 1960s, with music, love, and Beatlemania!
Lend Me A Tenor by Ken Ludwig
(September 18-29, September 25-27, October 2-4)
Tater Patch brings this comedic farce by Ken Ludwig to the stage with the curtain opening on a setting in a penthouse suite. The story revolves around Tito Merelli, a famous tenor in town for the opening of an operatic performance. The plot thickens when Tito is a no-show, leading to a series of mistaken identity, romantic entanglements and chaotic misunderstandings. Rapid-fire dialog, classic farcical events and comedic entrances/exits will keep you laughing.
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas by Ken Ludwig
(November 27-29, December 4-6, December 11-13)
Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of this family-friendly, holiday classic begins on Christmas Eve when Uncle Brierly reads the familiar lines of the holiday poem – ” ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, even a mouse.” But wait. A mouse is stirring because Santa missed his house last year. Amos, the mouse, interrupts the story-telling and prompts his best friend, Emily, to journey to the North Pole. There they discover Santa’s Naughty and Nice list has been stolen. They must work together to retrieve it and save Christmas. Don’t miss this joyful tribute to the holiday season. It is definitely a delight for ‘children’ of all ages.
