BPI_Move Over Mrs. Markham promoMOVE OVER MRS. MARKHAM
Presented by Beechmont Players Inc.
Feb. 20-28
Anderson Township

Directed by Vernon Burns
Produced by Cheryl Boettger

Cast: Maggie Kissinger as Joanna Markham, Chuck Haungs as Phillip Markham, Kristina Meek as Linda Lodge, Jim Black as Henry Lodge, Justin Spencer as Alistair, Daniela Nenova as Sylvie, Brieanne Sheehan as Miss Wilkinson, Darcy Little as Miss Wilkinson, Samantha Toberman as Olive Harriet Smyth & Steve Phelan as Walter Pangbourne

Several naughty couples want to “borrow” the Markham’s London flat for an assignation. Due to unfortunate confusion they all show up on the same night. The result is a classic door-slamming comedy with frustrated lovers, children’s authors, interior decorators, and the Swedish au pair in a variety of hysterically funny, slightly indelicate situations.

  • Sun, Feb. 22 at 3pm
  • Fri, Feb. 27 at 8pm
  • Sat, Feb. 28 at 3pm & 8pm
