2006 Season

Opal’s Million Dollar Duck
Remember cute little Jene Robocker (aka Miss June in Smoke), as Opal Kronkie in Everybody Loves Opal?  Well, she’s baaacckk in an hilarious romp with her best friend Rosie.  A priceless oil painting of a dead duck, reported missing from an art museum and two less than honest traveling actors who visit Opal’s Junque Shop in search of costumes and props provides all the necessary ingredients for laughter.  When the actors try everything from charm, flattery and even knock out drops to get their hands on Opal’s painting, it makes for an evening of high spirited entertainment…

The Foreigner
At a rural fishing lodge, Betty, the owner is visited by “Froggy”, an old friend who brings his friend Charlie, a shy man who is petrified of strangers.  Before leaving for training sessions at a nearby army camp, Froggy tells those at the lodge that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English.  It doesn’t take long for Charlie to overhear more than he should from the other guests which are Catherine, her brother Ellard and David a minister, not to mention the local unsavory character of Owen, who all think Charlie cannot understand anything they say.  And, that’s when the fun really begins.

Smoke on the Mountain
The year is 1938.  It’s Saturday night in Mount Pleasant, NC, and the Reverend Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders Family to provide an upliftin’ evening of singin’ and witnessin’.  The audience is invited to pull up a pew and join in the rollicking good time.  More than two dozen songs, many of them vintage pop hymns, and hilarious stories from the more or less devout Sanders provide a richly entertaining evening that has audiences clapping, singing, laughing, and cheering.  “Totally beguiling…foot-stomping soul food.”—-N.Y. Post.  “A charming and funny celebration of Americana.”—-N.Y. Times.

Sorry!  Wrong Chimney
If you enjoyed our last production of “Saving Grace”, you will love this one because it was written by the same author.  Another wacky tale full of mistaken identities and zany foul ups with a smattering of slapstick.  David Tuttle is moonlighting as a department store Santa to buy his wife an expensive Christmas present.  He tells her he is working late at the office, she finds out he’s not.  A suspected other woman, hypnotism, the notorious Santa thief Kris Kreigle, his gun toting fiancée and a very confused policeman all add up to a rollicking tale that will have you laughing until your sides ache.
