Synopsis:
In this hilarious comedy by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets "Maxine and Stephanie" that she finally gets a taste of it.

Synopsis:
The non-stop hilarity of this Southern-fried farce highlights one day in the life of the Wilburn family of Mayhew, Arkansas. Meet D. Gene Wilburn, the owner and proprietor of the Reel ‘Em Inn. It used to be one of the finest but no more. It has one guest, an extremely jittery Carmine DeLuca from Chicago, from the Witness Protection Program. D. Gene’s frustrated wife is working on their lack luster romantic life with hypnotic suggestions. D. Gene’s feisty sister Maxie has her own problems, including battling ageism to resuming her career in law enforcement. The gangster Carmine’s been dodging for the last five years, Sonny Barbosa, is about to enter the scene looking for his wife Lola, who has driven thousands of miles to follow her boytoy, D. Gene and Wanelle’s son, Ty. In the deliciously funny romp that ensues, they all hide, lie, disguise themselves, cross-dress, and slam doors chasing one another, while trying to figure out the source of an increasingly awful stench. Yet by the delightfully chaotic climax of this one outrageous day, love blossoms, truths are revealed and the lives of all change in incredible and surprising ways. |

Synopsis:
The cast includes parts for 5 adult males and 2 adult females, with some smaller parts for 4 male or female. Older teenagers will be considered for adult parts. This hilarious comedy stars George Kimball, a typical 0-5 commuter whose hobby is hypochondria. When he overhears his doctor talking about another patient who is on his way out with heart trouble, he misunderstands and prepares to meet the end bravely. He puts his affairs in order and writes a heartbreaking letter to his wife to be read after his death. He arranges in advance for the soon to be widowed to have another beau who will make a good second husband. He buys a cemetery plot big enough for three: himself, the widow and Hubby Two. This is only the beginning of George’s exploits in his own delusional world. |
