Monday, August 4th, 2008 at 7:00PM (rain date is August 5th) "Reunion" by Pat Wilson In Reunion, the same gaggle of ladies who presided over Jacob's ashes in Funeral Tea, gather to drink his homemade wine and read his will. Now all they have to do is find the money. When they can't read his writing and become increasingly drunk, it looks rather doubtful they'll find anything other than pink elephants. Directed by Lynn T. Dadian Mrs. Murgatroy ... Joanne Morin Miss Starkie ... Patte Sarausky Mrs. Ellis ... Joan Frates Mrs. Booth ... Jane Charland "The Mice Have Been Drinking Again" by Cleve Haubold Jerry and Julie Reed are a happy young couple living in a small apartment. At least they would be happy if it were not for Julie's cousin Roxanne Conch, who lives with them. Roxanne is a scatter brained pest who spends most of her time in Zen meditation in the closet, which does not allow much privacy. Jerry decides to get Roxanne out of the house for the night by fair means or foul. Fair doesn't work so Jerry fakes a date from a computer dating service with the help of the unusually incompetent Albert of Albert's Talent Agency. Directed By Abe Dadian Julie ... Diane Nickerson Jerry ... Rick Kincaid Roxanne ... Maggie Nickerson Harold ... Trent Hayward "The Prisoners of Hazelteen Ave." by Robert Mattson Gordon and Rhoda are a brother and sister that have been held captive for 5 years in the bottom floor of a 1960's split-level. They have come to accept that they are prisoners, but refuse to give up the independence that lives within them. Tossed into their prison is Daisy, a young woman who is confused, but is more easily swayed to the will of their captors. A quirky look at relationships in trying times, "Prisoners" proves that people aren't always what they seem, and relationships are different depending on your point of view. Directed By Joanne Morin Rhoda ... Lynn Dadian Gordon ... Johan Andersen Daisy ...

Val Hammond "Dinner with the McGuffins"   by Chris Sheppard and Jeff Grove Ever get that weird feeling that someone’s watching you? Well, in “Dinner with the Macguffins,” that’s exactly how James feels. Throughout the play, he and his girlfriend constantly get interrupted by members of his family while they try to make-out in his living room. The ultimate interruption comes when a cell phone goes off in the audience. This breaks the actor’s “fourth wall.” Directed by Matt Demko James ... Trevor Chandler Karen ...
