Directed by Jeff Sams
Produced by Debra Kent

Cast: Matt Lindsay as Actor 01: J. Bruce Ismay; Mike Beerbower as Actor 02: William Randolph Hearst, Thomas Andrews, and others; Zach Katris as Actor 03: Policeman, Sailor, Senator Fletcher, etc.; Gary Thompson as Actor 04: Cpt.

Joseph Bruce Ismay, an English businessman who served as chairman and managing director of the White Star Line of steamships becomes the perfect scapegoat for the sinking of the Titanic. Ismay saved as many people as he could, but with no women and children in sight, he stepped into the last lifeboat…and was branded a coward and a traitor forever. This play deals not only with the disaster itself, but the sensationalized trials and aftermath of an event that changed the world forever.

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE Runs July 21-23

MLT_logoTHE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Middletown Lyric Theatre
July 21-23
Middletown

Direction & musical staging by Charley Shafor
Vocal Direction by Jay Mills

Cast: Ivy Moody as Logainne Schwartzandgrunenierre,  Ashley Shamp as Marcy Park, Kenzie Hall as Olive Ostrovsky, Seth Allen as Chip Tolentino/Jesus, Paul Dunn as Leaf Coneybear, Jacob Lovelace as William Barfee, Elyssa Carmony as Rona Lisa Peretti/Olive’s Mom, Emma Janson as Madge Mahoney & Jacob Watkins as Douglass Pance

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box!

Arthur Sinclair is a successful world-famous mentalist in the tradition of Joseph Dunninger. His beautiful wife Allison plots his murder for the commonest of all motives—greed. She enlists the aid of a struggling young actor. Her foolproof murder plan cannot possibly misfire as it’s too skillfully inventive—or is it? After all, Arthur (as everyone knows) has psychic gifts. But does he? Once the killing scheme is set in motion, the plot begins to twist and turn. Nothing is as it seems. Is mind reading possible? Can the future be foretold? Just when the audience figures out what will happen next, there is an unexpected shock to complicate matters. The mystery builds to an exciting climax where Arthur’s gifts not only save his life but also create a devilish new puzzle. Needed: 4 M 4 F
