STUCK AT HOME Runs Nov. 9-19

Brookville Community Theatre
Nov. 9-19
[Brookville, Oh.]

Directed by Bonnie Bertelson

Cast: Alain Alejandro as Dad, Ashley Leifheit as Mom, Derek Combs as Son, Lorelai Wells as Daughter, Kai West as Paul/Ted, Ellie Wells as Muffins, Isla Jackle as Piddles, Lisa Marling as Grandma & Scott Marling as News Reporter

Join this hilarious family as they struggle to endure being stuck at home – together! Why is the WiFi out, and will their old-school solutions work when all the needed cords are missing from the junk drawer? Will the family secure two-ply rolls of toilet paper in trade negotiations with Grandma? Wait… what has each of them been using? How many family game nights can teens endure? How are the pets holding up? What foods (or beverages!) are critical enough to make a special run to the grocery store? How do first dates and book clubs work while social distancing? And really, who is strong enough to endure more than one Dad joke?

PLAZA SUITE Runs Sept. 7-17

BVCT_Plaza SuitePLAZA SUITE
Brookville Community Theatre
Sept. 7-17
[Brookville, OH]

Cast: Mark Van Luvender as Sam/Jesse/Roy, Kerry Simpson as Karen/Muriel/Norma, Lilly Petty as Jean McCormack/Mimsey Hubley & Titus Unger as Bellhop/Waiter/Borden Eisler

Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at The Plaza. In the first act, a suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed, in Act II, by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little romantic diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. In Act III, the last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, “I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!”
