SPRING COMEDY
I BET YOUR LIFE
A Hilarious comedy by Fred Carmichael
Directed by Mindy Danko
Hilarious situations, clever dialogue, intriguing romance and surprise twists make this breezy comedy a delight.
A soap opera author has written a screenplay about a terminally ill man who hires a hitman to kill him and then
finds out he was misdiagnosed. His agent and best friend thinks the plot is not feasible so the author contacts
a gangster and arranges for an incognito hitman to join them at a dinner party to prove his point.
Circumstances place a real hitman among the guests and the action accelerates as they try to find out who it is
before the deadline. Is the whole scheme really a con game? And who cons the con man? And who is conning
them all?

TRIBUTE
A Comedic Drama by Bernard Slade
Directed by Steve Rubin
Scottie Templeton's a charming, irresponsible fellow. A sometime Broadway press agent and former
scriptwriter. He's everyone's friend, nobody's hero, and a great womanizer who's managed to live over fifty
years without taking anything seriously including love, marriage and fatherhood. Life's been one continuous
gag. But at fifty one, he finds his life script has been rewritten. This is a very touching comedic drama.

ARTIFICE
(Clever or artful skill, an ingenious device, an artful strategy or trick, cunning device.)
A Comedy by Anne Flanagan
Directed by Martha Manning
The death of artist Payne Showers greatly inflates the value of his work. His estranged wife, Maggie,
and his manager must auction his work to avoid bankruptcy so they hold a private showing before the
auction. In attendance are a very influential newspaper woman, a fabulously rich real estate mogul, a
handsome but dim witted soap opera star, and a sassy street wise cocktail waitress who is supposed to
help with the party. Everything is going well when the worst thing that could happen does!!!
You will have to attend the play to see what happens in this intriguing and witty comedy which is a
farcical take on celebrity and success and an affectionate tribute to loyalty and love.
This play is part of our 2025 - 2026 season ticket package. Sales will start on September
1st at 10 am and end on September 15th. Go to the Season ticket link above.
