Tom and Annabel are a reasonably happy couple. But one evening they have an argument as to who loves the other most. A rough and tumble ensues, and to his horror, Tom discovers that Annabel is dead. So starts a hectic evening of black farce. The hysterical ending finds the stage littered with female corpses, frantic males and a potential fifth victim banging on the door

A poetic mixture of farce, romance and comedy. Twin brothers—shy, sensitive Frederic and heartless, aggressive Hugo—are embroiled in a love triangle. To save Frederic from an unhappy marriage, Hugo tries to distract him with a beautiful dancer who isn’t all she seems. Not only does she break up the cynical romances that have been going on before she arrived, but she loses her own heart as well.

[Fort Thomas, Kentucky] –  Village Players of Fort Thomas presents its final show for the 2016-2017 season, DON’T TALK TO THE ACTORS by Tom Dudzick.  Performances for this production will be Apr. 21st (Fri.), 22nd (Sat.), 27th (Thu.), 28th (Fri.), 29th (Sat.) @ 8:00 PM and April 23rd (Sun.) @ 3:00 PM.

The best laid plans go awry when the cast and crew of a Broadway-bound play resort to manipulation, diva-like behavior, and chaotic abandon to get what they want. Fledgling playwright Jerry Przpezniak and his fiancée are a couple of Buffalo greenhorns suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of New York’s theater scene when Jerry’s play is optioned for the big money, ego-driven world of Broadway. It’s a young playwright’s dream, but the crazy characters and dilemmas they encounter are the things theatrical nightmares are made of. The cast includes Aaron Whitehead, Patricia Mullins, Alan Kootsher, Heather Abbott, Mark Metzner and Marypat Carletti.  This production is directed by Merritt Beischel, produced by Nathan Henegar and stage managed by Steve Winslow.
