Directed by Sarah Hoback

This intricate time traveling comic thriller by the British master of farcical comedy delighted London and New York audiences. A London sex specialist from the future stumbles into a murder plot that sends her, compliments of a unique set of hotel doors, traveling back in time. She and two women who were murdered in 1998 and 1978 race back and forth in time trying to rewrite history and prevent their own violent ends. The frantic race begins when Poopay is hired for an evening at the Regal Hotel by an old man who eschews a fling in favor of confessing his role in the demise of his wives. Now a target, Poopay flees into the vestibule and somehow triggers the time machine.

THE DINING ROOM
Tri-County Players
Dec. 2-17
Bell Tower Pavilion [Evendale]

Directed by David Roth

Cast: Rachel Brzezinski, Robert Buchtman, Trisha Coopet, Abby Farmer, Tess Greweling, Brandon Hester, Max Metsch & Clayton Schmohe

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions. The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes—some funny, some touching, some rueful—which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from boarding school to discover his mother’s infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn’t recognize her own sons at Thanksgiving dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

Produced by Burt McColllum

Cast: Keith Cassidy as Eddie Carbone, Mary Stone as Beatrice Carbone, Briana Kennedy as Catherine, Burt McCollom as Alfieri, Ellis Quinne as Rodolpho, Thurman Allen as Marco, Brady Dunn as Louis & Mark Wiesner as Immigration Officer

Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge simmers with jealousy and obsession within an Italian-American immigrant family in the 1950s Brooklyn. Eddie Carbone is devoted to his wife Beatrice and his niece Catherine. When Beatrice’s cousins Marco and Rodolpho enter the US illegally, desperate to find work having fled the poverty of Sicily, the pair is welcomed into the Carbone home. But as Rodolpho and Catherine fall in love, Eddie’s adoration of his niece is no longer touching, but terrifying.
