DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
Brookville Community Theatre
April 19-29
[Brookville]

Directed by Jen Bell

Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together, only to find that this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress, Christine Colgate, wins, and the other must leave town. A battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

FOXFIRE
Brookville Community Theatre
Feb. 15-25
[Brookville]

Directed by Saul Caplan
Produced by Jen Bell

Cast: Gayle Smith as Annie, Dave Williamson as Hector, Andrew Mitakides as Dillard, Rebecca Henry as Holly, Ian Manuel as Prince & Don Cordes as Doc

Annie Nations, an indomitable Appalachian widow of 79, lives on her mountain farm with the acerbic ghost of her husband Hector. Her tranquility is threatened by a brash real estate developer who wants to turn her land into a vacation resort and by concern over her son Dillard, a country singer who has come home with two stranded children because his wife has run away. Annie’s battle to decide her future takes her through some funny, touching and magical flashbacks to her life with Hector. Played on Broadway by Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, this couple offers a staunchly affirmative tribute to country folk.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Brookville Community Theatre
Nov. 9-19
Brookville

Directed by Sherron Henry

Cast: Joyce Luther as Julia, James Nelson as Visitor, Cathy Rarick as Beth, Brad Rarick as Paul, Kerry Simpson as Rosemary, Larry Lindstrom as Father John, Kayla Newkirk as Melissa, Luke Cramer as Matthew & Don Cordes as Bernie

Julia Dowling has an unexpected visitor who intends to escort her off to the afterlife.  Infusing comedy into the classic Death Takes a Holiday, The Christmas Spirit is set in contemporary Long Island.  Julia persuades Death to give her one more day to enjoy Christmas and invites him to be her guest at a festive party.  The next day the house fills with bickering relatives, friends, the local priest – and Death, masquerading as a human, singing carols and drinking egg nog.  Moments of high farce, drama and even romance arise as bright holiday fantasies collide with a not-so-merry reality.  Winner of the 2002 Florida Repertory Theatre Congress of Jewelers Play Series.
