FIVE shows in one evening!
HIDDEN IN THIS PICTURE by Aaron Sorkin: Production is three weeks behind and $6 million over budget! Now the sun is setting with only 11 minutes left to film, before the bigwigs shut production down. Then three cows gradually wander into the panoramic scene. Directed by Linda Metcalf.
THE END OF THE BEGINNING by Sean O'Casey: One O'Caseys very few comedies. An Irish farmer and his wife argue about which of them has the toughest job. They agree to switch duties for a day and then compare who succeeds best - with catastrophic results. Directed by Dave Metcalf.
DEATH KNOCKS by Woody Allen: Nat Ackermann is on his bed reading when a mysterious figure climbs through his window and claims to be Death. Death is a little nervous; it's his first day on the job. Nat suggests that they play gin rummy. If Nat wins, he doesn't have to go to the Happy Hunting Ground for 24 hours. Directed by Tom Nelson.
ANIMAL by Oliver Hailly: Oliver Hailly’s play showcases Claire Marie. Claire Marie’s mother is frustrated. She has people coming for a celebration and her 12 year-old daughter has climbed a tree and will not come down! Directed by David Metcalf.
CLEAR GLASS MARBLES by Jane Martin: Laurie's mother was diagnosed with cancer. But she decides to deal with it on her own terms. Laurie recounts the process. Funny, poignant and bittersweet. Directed by Jack Neveaux.
Nancy J. Lipinski portrays Laurie in "Clear Glass Marbles" by Jane Martin.
David Metcalf portrays Nat and Ron Hungerford portrays Death in "Death Knocks" by Woody Allen.
New sound system has arrived!
Thanks to a generous grant of $10,000 from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council we have been able to purchase a new sound system, complete with wireless mics, a mixer board, and four speakers. This will enable us to improve sound quality in indoor venues, and also make us more audible at outdoor performances.
