SBM_logoDON’T DRINK THE WATER
Presented by The Showboat Majestic
Aug. 7-25
Downtown

Directed by Greg Procaccino

Cast: Brandon Holcomb as Axel Magee, Mike Dennis as Walter Hollander, Christine Dye as Marion Hollander, Clarisse Minter as Susan Hollander, Mike Sherman as Father Drobney, Julie Pergrem as Kilroy, Mike Nalley as Burns, Dave Roth as Ambassador Magee/Sultan of Bashir & Jim Waldfogle as Chef/Kasnar

A cascade of comedy and a solid hit on Broadway, this affair takes place inside an American embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist, a caterer by trade, and his wife and daughter rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of spying and picture taking. It’s not much of a refuge, for the ambassador is absent and his son, now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen countries and the continent of Africa. Nevertheless, they carefully and frantically plot their escape, and the ambassador’s son and the caterer’s daughter even have time to fall in love.

Presented by Beechmont Players Inc.
Aug. 2-10
Anderson Township

Directed by Larry Behymer
Produced by Donna Surber & Darcy Little

Official cast list |

That nasty-tempered wizard, Rumpelstiltskin, is back in this engaging adaptation. Griselda, a four hundred year old witch, tells Rumpelstiltskin that in order to become the most powerful force in the kingdom, he must possess a child of royal birth. The wizard plots and schemes. He spreads the word that Laura, the miller’s daughter, can weave straw into gold. Since the kingdom is bankrupt, she’s whisked off to the palace and ordered to spin and spin. With Rumpelstiltskin’s help she delivers the gold. She has a high fee to pay — her first born child. When Laura marries the prince and produces an heir to the throne, she has twenty-four hours to guess the wizard’s name or lose her child.
