   Up to a house high on a mountain top have been invited ten people who are strangers to each other. When they are all gathered, they hear from their host that each one of them has in someway caused the death of an innocent person and that justice had not be served in their cases. There are eight guests and two servants there for the weekend, but one by one, they are being knocked off according to the poem of "Ten Little Indians".

Into The Woods 

   Cinderella wishes to go to the Prince's ball, but her evil stepsisters and stepmother are doing everything they can to prevent her from doing this. Jack wishes for a better life, and his mom wishes for more money. Thus, Jack is made to sell his only friend, his cow, Milky-White. The Baker and his wife are childless and want a child. The witch from next door tells them she placed a spell on their house preventing them from giving birth, unless they make a potion by gathering the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, the slipper as pure as gold.

Sorry Wrong Chimney 

Click here for a review of our show

   It's 10 days before Christmas and David Tuttle has secretly been moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can buy his wife a fur for Christmas. He tells her he's working late at the office but she suspects his late nights at the office are an excuse to sneak out to have an affair.  A suspected other woman,  nosy neighbors, a slightly off balance Santa burglar and his tough, gum chewing, gun toting fiancee, and a hypnotized policeman who thinks he's a Chippendale dancer, add up to a rollicking lighthearted tale that is full of mistaken identities and zany foul ups, with a smattering of slapstick.

Directed by Janet Sharpley

   A mystery writer rents a New England house that is the rendezvous point for some jewel thieves. The focal point of the set is the closet which opens into a living room and a library. A body found in the closet promptly disappears only to be succeeded by another. The hunt for the jewels reaches a climax at 2:00 am when four couples unknown to each other turn up to search. Not since the days of Mack Sennett has there been such a hilarious series of entrances and exits.

A Comedy by P. J. Barry

Directed by Kathy Woods

Octete Bridge Club 

Click here for a preview of our show

   A delightful, sentimental comedy about American life in the 30's and 40's. On alternate Friday evenings, eight sisters meet to play bridge, gossip and generally entertain themselves. They are a group portrait right out of Norman Rockwell Americana! The first act takes place in 1934. The second act takes place 10 years later. This is an insightful look at an American family in an era far more innocent and naive than ours has become.
