BURGERTOWN
July 9 – August 3, 2025
By Christine Jones, Ken Jones, Jamey Strawn

BurgerTown is a delicious musical comedy set in the Windy City. When Danny O’Riley, a timid fry cook accidentally invents the hottest new craze in the fast-food world; the Triangle Burger, he takes the humble BurgerTown diner from its lowly place beneath the tracks of the Fullerton train station to soaring new heights. Along the way, Danny encounters bad guys, big business, and beautiful women. While he struggles to hold onto his sanity as he chases his dreams for success, romance, and a fast-food fortune.

Ken Jones, Director; Jamey Strawn, Music Director, Maggie Burgoon, Choreographer and Michael Hatton, Stage Manager

Roles include:

  • Danny O’Riley (20- 30ish)
    A young, inventive nerd. He works as a fry cook at the. BurgerTown restaurant. DANNY wants to be successful, but he doesn’t have a clue where to start. He is in love with JAN, but he only admires her from a distance. Once, in high school, DANNY tried to kiss a girl and was immediately struck with “hysterical lockjaw.” His dating life has only gone downhill since that event. However, DANNY is thoughtful, caring and kind.
  • Sal Spumoni (50+)
    The stringy and cranky owner of BurgerTown. SAL is old and grumpy. He has borrowed money from the mob to open his restaurant, and because of the lack of business, he is quite sure that his legs will be broken any day now. When asked which two men he admired most, SAL answered, “Ebenezer Scrooge and myself.”
  • JAN SOKOWSKI (20-30ish)
    A beautiful young waitress. JAN has worked at the BurgerTown restaurant since it opened, and for the last two years, she has been taking classes to become a dental hygienist. JAN is very sweet and has often found herself without train fare because she has given her money away to people on the street. JAN has a thing for DANNY, but she’s afraid to get too close. One time, she touched his hand while he was cooking, and he accidentally caught his apron on fire. JAN’s only goal in life is to be happy.
  • PATTY RAMONE (25-35ish)
    A sexy bombshell who wants to be number one. PATTY is hired by SPUMONI to be the BurgerTown restaurant mascot, Miss BurgerTown. PATTY began her climb to the top as a stripper, where she was best known for the use of balloons and a live badger.

Auditions Announced for BLITHE SPIRIT at Mason Community Players

Auditions for Blithe Spirit, the second show of Mason Community Players’ 2025 Season, will be on January 25th and 26th, from 2pm to 5pm at the Mason Community Playhouse.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

The show is set in the mid-1930’s in England. Accents are not required for auditions but a willingness to learn for the show is needed. An accent coach will be part of the show’s crew.

A smash comedy hit, this much-revived classic concerns cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira, who is called up by a visiting medium, the eccentric Madame Arcati. Clever, insistent, and well aware of Charles’ shortcomings, Elvira clashes with Charles’ current wife, Ruth, who is not about to give him up without a fight creating a ghostly affair of the heart

The characters include:
Edith – a maid in training, eager to please, age: 20+
Ruth – Charles’ current wife, practical and sensible, age: 40+
Charles – Writer, husband to Ruth and, before her death, Elvira, egotistical and arrogant, age: 40+
Dr. Bradman – Friend and family doctor, kindly, age: 40+
Mrs. Bradman – Dr. Bradman’s wife, friend, kind but thoughtless, age: 40+
Madame Arcati – Psychic, confident and determined, age: 40+
Elvira – Charles’ deceased first wife, physically attractive and seductive, age: 30+

Blithe Spirit  will be presented April 25th through May 3rd. The show is being directed by Susan Berger, produced by Eric Grimm, and stage managed by Dana Davis.
