Messiah on the Frigidaire
A Comedy written by John Culbertson,
Directed by Kevin Labrum
Courtesy of Samuel French, Inc.
July 15-16, 21-24, 28-30
The small town of Elroy, South Carolina is thrust into the evangelical spotlight when what seems to be the image of Jesus appears on a refrigerator in a trailer park. The discovery by Lou Ann Hightower, her husband Dwayne, and her best friend Betsy, sets into motion a frenzy of conflict, communion and good old fashioned commerce. When the National Investigator turns the appearance into front-page headlines, their trailer park becomes a Mecca for miracle seekers, soul searchers and disciples with a decidedly political agenda. At the urging of the towns business leaders, Betsy pretends to get messages from the appliance-based apparition, and the crowds multiply like loaves and fishes. Through the ordeal, the three undergo an evolution in their relationships with each other, and they are forced to come to grips with their lowly status in the caste system of the rural south. In a region where religion is as much a part of life as grits and cotton fields, God surely moves in mysterious ways.

When “Froggy” leaves Charlie alone, the other lodge visitors speak freely in front of Charlie. Deep secrets and evil plans all unravel in from of Charlie and hilarity ensues as the ‘bad guys’ are pitted against ‘good’ in a climax that will leave you laughing til you can’t speak.

Flemming
A Comedic Thriller written by Sam Bobrick. Directed by Kevin Kimsey
Courtesy of Samuel French, Inc.
June 10-11, 16-19, 23-25
Bored by his privileged but mundane life, Henry Flemming sells his lucrative brokerage firm to become a detective. On his very first case – to the horror of his wife, Karen, and his two crazy neighbors, Suzy and Stan – the Flemming living room begins to fill up with dead bodies. Karen is further annoyed when one of them turns out to be her father. Even though Henry keeps showing up at home every day more disheveled and beaten up, he couldn’t be happier. Henry is convinced he’s found his life’s work and Westport, Connecticut is safer for it. The play is a spoof of the film noir thrillers from the 40s and 50s. Selected play in the 2008 International Mystery Writers’ Festival
