An Act of the Imagination
A thriller by Bernard Slade
Directed by Deborah Sirianni
This masterful suspense tale by the author of Same Time, Next Year; Same Time, Another Year; Romantic Comedy and Tribute involves a successful mystery writer named Arthur who's latest work has strangely turned into a romance, a vivid and adulterous romance! His son, his second wife and his editor marvel at the truthfulness of the work, remarkable since it is inconceivable that he could ever have had such an affair. Enter a woman who is intent on blackmail and whose story is foolproof and airtight; it appears that Arthur has been trysting away from home. Death stalks; the other woman disappears and evidence incriminates Arthur in her murder. There is a conspiracy to do Arthur in, a conspiracy that entails cunning, deceit and ingenious plotting.

November 13 - 22, 2009 A BAD YEAR FOR TOMATOES
 a comedy by John Patrick
directed by Lyall Marshall
Fed up with the pressures and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her longtime agent, but dealing wiht her nosy, omnipresent neighbours is a different matter. In an attempt to shoo them away and gain some privacy, Myra invents a mad, homicidal sister who is kept locked in a room upstairs but who occasionally escapes long enough to scare off uninvited visitors. The ruse works well at first, but complications result when the local handyman develops an affection for “Sister Sadie” and some of the more officious ladies decide it is their Christian duty to save the poor demented Sadie’s soul. In desperation, Myra announces that her imaginary sibling has suddenly gone off to Boston which brings on the sheriff and the suspicion of murder! All is straightened out in the end, but the uproarious doings will keep you laughing till the final curtain, and then some!
