Special Effects Artist Needed for TCP’s DEATHTRAP

TCPHi everyone,

I am in search of a special effects – weapons specialist. I am directing a production of DEATHTRAP that opens January 17th. Besides gun fire, there is strangulation with a garrote, being shot with a crossbow and stabbing by arrow. So in other words lots of blood.

Please contact me if you are interested and capable of handling this SE design.

Thanks

CAUGHT IN THE NET Runs Oct. 25-Nov. 2

TCP_Caugt in the NetCAUGHT IN THE NET
Presented by Tri-County Players
Oct. 25-Nov. 2
Sharonville

Directed by Mary Benken

Cast: Peggy Allen as Mary Smith, Bill Hartnett as Stanley’s Dad, Alan Kootsher as John Smith, Patricia Mullins as Vicki Smith, Michael Gunter as Gavin Smith, Mary Ann Smith as Barbara Smith & Kent Wrampelmeier as Stanley Gardner

The sequel to “Run for Your Wife” finds the bigamist taxi driver John Smith still keeping his two families in different parts of London, both happy and blissfully unaware of each other. However, his young adult children, a girl from one family and a boy from the other, have met on the Internet and are anxious to meet in person since they have so much in common name, surname and taxi driving dad! Keeping them apart plunges John into a hell hole of his own making. His lodger Stanley could be a savior, but he is about to go on holiday with his decrepit old father who turns up thinking he is already at the guest house. The situation spirals out of control as John juggles outrageously with the truth.
