Synopsis:
A wild, fast-paced adaptation of a serious spy caper from the 1930’s, this modern update is strictly for laughs – also hoots and guffaws. A seemingly inexhaustible cast of 4 play all the parts as the hero and his female partner race across the English countryside by train, plane, and automobile, to catch a spy before he escapes Britain. Join us and try to keep up!

Synopsis:
Coward’s tribute to theater is set in a retirement home for actresses in the 1940’s. Residents are all former stars. Jealousies abound, especially between Lotta and another who was also married to her former husband. A tragedy brings them to their senses and a new solarium brings out everyone’s good nature.
Playing ages are listed next to the characters on the audition form, and are flexible. Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. English accents are a must with the exception of Deidre who has an Irish accent. The character of Maud should be able to play the piano, and the rest of the residents need to be able to carry a tune.
