Walton Creek Theater

Cast: Aimée Ward as Ada Byron Lovelace, Keith Cassidy as Charles Babbage, Traci Taylor as Lady Annabella Byron, Ryan Bowron as Lord Lovelace, Susan Smith as Mary Sommerville & Corey Meyer as Byron

As the British Industrial Revolution dawns, young Ada Byron Lovelace sees the boundless creative potential in the “analytic engines” of her friend and soul mate Charles Babbage, inventor of the first mechanical computer. Ada envisions a whole new world where art and information converge—a world she might not live to see. A music-laced story of love, friendship, and the edgiest dreams of the future.

WRONG WINDOW Runs May 6-14

BPI_logoWRONG WINDOW
Beechmont Players Inc.
May 6-14
Anderson Center

Directed by Alan Kootsher

Cast: Lon Nease as Jeff Elbies, Victoria Kirby as Marnie Elbies, Scott Unes as Robbin Smith, Susan Unes as Midge Smith, Jim Waldfogle as Loomis, Ken Macke as Thor Larswald, Mary Jo Bissmeyer as Lila Larswald & Zak Slemmer as Detective Thomas

Van Zandt & Milmore pay tribute to Master of Horror Alfred Hitchcock, with this comedy whodunit. Off-and-on New York couple Marnie and Jeff enter an even more complicated phase of their relationship when they think they spy their cross-courtyard neighbor do away with his wife. After they draw their torn curtain, the lady vanishes, and suspicion places murder beyond a shadow of a doubt. The bumbling witnesses sneak into their neighbor’s apartment – 39 steps away – and the fun begins. Among multiple door-slammings, body-snatchings, and a frantic flashlight chase scene, two questions remain: Who killed Lila Larswald? And… if she’s not dead…then who is? The crazy farce plays out on a shadow-box set that allows the audience to be present in one apartment, while viewing the action in its mirror-image neighboring unit across the way.

WC_PuffsPUFFS or SEVEN INCREASINGLY EVENTFUL YEARS AT A CERTAIN SCHOOL OF MAGIC AND MAGIC

Directed by Bryan Wallingford

For seven years, a certain boy wizard went to a certain wizard school and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. For mature audiences due to language.
