The Village Players
Board has accepted
the recommendation of the play reading committee and we are happy to
announce
our play for 2008.
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
long-time
agent, but dealing with her nosy, omnipresent neighbors 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 an upstairs room, 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" (really Myra in a fright wig)
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! Needless to say, all is
straightened
out in the end, but the uproarious doings keep audiences laughing right
up to the final curtain, and them some.
Were held on March 14
and March 16.
We are proud to announce the wonderful cast.
