suspenseful drama about the rise and destruction

of a brilliant and ruthless man. Guilty or Innocent

your decide. Members of the audience are selected

WRITTEN BY KEN LUGWIG

DIRECTED BY HEDLEY DUNCAN

April 7th - 22nd

A beloved & wacky backstage comedy. Two aging
stars of stage, George and Charlotte Hay, husband
and wife, have been reduced to playing Cyrano de
Bergerac & Private Lives with a cast of five. But they
have one last chance to get to Broadway with the
anticipated visit of famous director Frank Capra.
Their grown daughter Rosalind has brought her
fiancée to demonstrate the value of a regular life but
she realizes she’s still in love with stage manager Paul.
Add Ethel’s nearly deaf and George-hating mother
to round out the mayhem.
