When a stranger runs his car into a ditch in dense fog near the South Wales
coast and makes his way to an isolated home, he discovers a woman standing
over the dead body of her wheelchair-bound husband, a gun in her hand. She
admits to murder and the unexpected guest offers to help her concoct a cover
story. But is it possible that Laura Warwick did not commit the murder after
all? And, if so, who is she shielding? The house seems full of possible
suspects....

This hilarious send up of the horror story genre has an ancient castle,
creaking doors, a mad scientist, his misshapen assistant, a grim
housekeeper, secret laboratory, shrieks from the depths of the cellar,
disappearing villagers, an incredibly stalwart and stupid hero of
sterling character, the scientist's absolutely dopey daughter, and so
many laughs you'll lose count.
Come to the Baron Von Blitzen's castle in Transylvania, if you dare.....

Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Carl Reiner, the story centers
on the journey of young aspiring actor David Kolowitz, as he tries to

married pharmacist) and two too many girlfriends, while struggling to
meet the challenge of a dearth of talent in 1930s New York City.

Auditions
November 2 & 4
The uproarious story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who have never shot
a duck but think they shot an angel. As they lament their fates in a murky
swamp, they are chased by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant
photographer who don't believe any of it -- until feathers, wings, and a
tiara are discovered along the way. The play hysterically interweaves a
love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations, and cultural
stereotypes as the chase to find the angel builds to a crescendo in the swamp.

The riveting, well-known tale of vaudeville's decline and a domineering
stage mother. It follows Mama Rose's dreams and efforts to raise her two
daughters, June and Louise, to perform onstage, and her inadvertent creation
of a burlesque stripper, Gypsy Rose Lee. Set in the 1920's and '30's, it
casts an affectionate eye on the hardships of life and show business.
