ABOUT THE PLAYS:

The Dentist by John Rebstock, 11 Actors (7 M, 4 W). In this rollicking comedy, Pedrolino seeks revenge for Pantalone's bite while Captain Spavento and Arlecchino do battle for the title of supreme Knight Templar. Meanwhile, Isabella seeks the woman of the forest, Pasquella, for advice on how to woo Oratio. The candy Pasquella gives her is deadly and explodes into the lunacy which follows. And who will get Flaminia and Franceschina? Flavio and Dottore Gratiano?

The Guest House by Diane Patterson, 7 Actors (4M, 3W). Drusilla and her sister Stevie get more than they bargained for when they wrangle their way into a stay at a famous actor's guest house. Drusilla's ex-boyfriend tries to blackmail her, she becomes the prime suspect in his murder, and the family she ran away from years ago has just found out where she is -- and they aren't going to let her disappear again.

Rocking the Good Ship Gooseberry by Mary Ann Cook, 6 Actors (4W, 2M). Rocking the Good Ship Gooseberry is the story of two elderly widows (sisters) forced to combat a series of shattering events: finances, broken limbs and wounded hearts. In so doing, they manage to overcome a long-standing animosity between family members and jealousy over a mutual old beau.

The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife by Chris Enni, 7 actors (4M, 3W). Could the leader of the Great World be left wanting for anything? Yes, when he meets Catherine, who is the world's most perfect woman except for one teeny flaw, she cannot speak. The greatest society the world has ever seen is brought to the brink of disaster in The Man Who Married A Dumb Wife, (adapted from the play by Anatole France).
