"Marriage Can Be A Mystery"
by Matt Jablow-
(7 Cast Members) - If you think there were mishaps at your own wedding, wait
until you come to the marriage of Sam Zardo and Rachael Levine! The caterer
is running late, Momma Zardo is missing her left shoe, and people are finding
it curious that the bride has no living relatives attending the wedding. (Or
dead ones either!) The groom is on edge, Poppa Zardo is a basket case and his
son, Roger, suffers from multiple personality disorder. (It runs in the blood
line...many times over.) If that’s not enough, there’s a few secrets from the
past that will come to haunt this wonderful occasion.
Audience members enjoy all the fun, frolick,
and craziness that takes place at a wedding. But watch out...you might end up
doing the dollar dance or you might have to fill in for the priest who’s missing.
No matter what happens, you’ll soon realize that "Marriage Can Be A Mystery!"
"Murder Most Medieval"- by
Jim Daab (7
Cast Members) - Welcome to the coronation of King Ronald, Lord of the Ville.
Prince Ronald will be escorted by his lovely wife, the Princess, and Her Majesty,
the Queen, shall be accompanied by the Royal Tax Collector.
Shecky, the Court
Jester, is apt to provide some frivolity to the event!
So Lords and Ladies of the court, wash down your
fowl with some ale. But be forewarned! There’s a foul wind blowing in the Ville
tonight and not all will be saying "Long Live the King" or "Hail
To The Chief!"
In spite of the lack of light in the "Dark
Ages," this show proves that life was fun and frivolous as the common folk
frolicked with the likes of royalty. This show has a bit of bawdy humor that
makes it slightly nasty but ever so nice!
"Killing Mr. Withers."

your ultimate destination -- Las Vegas! In the meantime, you’ll be hosted by
the ever so cute, Veronica, your waitress for the evening, and her not so sociable
husband, Kurt. There’s a surprise at every turn as you meet an unusual
Russian
couple (Boris & Natasha...who else?) , the "barely alive" Mr.
Withers, and a local Sheriff who’s searching for a few missing people.
This show is rip-roaring fun with a country western
theme that’s sure to please.

"Cafe Noir"
by David Landau

- You’ll think you’re in the movie "Casablanca" when you show up in
the Caribbean at the infamous Cafe Noir. Rick Archer, Ace Detective, is out
to solve every crime that comes his way. (Of course, he graduated last in his
class at the John Jay College of Criminology!) You’ll meet smugglers, sex-pots,
and British lawyers...and you can’t trust any of them. Before the night is through,
you’ll be saying "Play it again, Sam" and wondering if you’ll be stuck
in this 1940’s mood piece forever.
This is the classic of all murder-mystery shows

As the celebration begins, there are a few unanswered
questions! Who will be Mr. Margate’s mystery date for this year’s banquet? Will
the boss survive the evening or will he get his "just desserts" by
dessert time? And most important, will there be a cost of living salary increase
in your next paycheck?

let’s loose with "Let’s Kill the Boss."
