In Salem in the late 1600s, a group of young girls accuse others of witchcraft sparking an alarming series of events. The leaders of the church respond with suspicion and put those accused on trial for their lives ultimately leaving a town in fear, and the man at the center of it all questioning his faith and morality. One of the greatest American plays of all time and winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, this heart-pounding drama is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society.

CAUGHT IN THE NET Runs Oct. 25-Nov. 2

TCP_Caugt in the NetCAUGHT IN THE NET
Presented by Tri-County Players
Oct. 25-Nov. 2
Sharonville

Directed by Mary Benken

Cast: Peggy Allen as Mary Smith, Bill Hartnett as Stanley’s Dad, Alan Kootsher as John Smith, Patricia Mullins as Vicki Smith, Michael Gunter as Gavin Smith, Mary Ann Smith as Barbara Smith & Kent Wrampelmeier as Stanley Gardner

The sequel to “Run for Your Wife” finds the bigamist taxi driver John Smith still keeping his two families in different parts of London, both happy and blissfully unaware of each other. However, his young adult children, a girl from one family and a boy from the other, have met on the Internet and are anxious to meet in person since they have so much in common name, surname and taxi driving dad! Keeping them apart plunges John into a hell hole of his own making. His lodger Stanley could be a savior, but he is about to go on holiday with his decrepit old father who turns up thinking he is already at the guest house. The situation spirals out of control as John juggles outrageously with the truth.
