Mrs. Stancliffe’s Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast has been successful for many years. Her guests (nearly all women) return year after year. Her next-door neighbor, the elderly, silver-tongued Bud “Bud the Stud” Davis, believes they come to spend time with him in romantic liaisons. Her other neighbor and would-be suitor, Henry Mitchell, is a retired chemist who has developed a blue pill to increase the libido of menopausal women. Add to the guest list a romance novelist whose personal life seems to be lacking in romance; a friend of Henry’s who has agreed to test his pills; and a “Southern Belle” whose libido does not need to be increased. The fun begins as Bud attempts to entertain all three women! After the women replace Bud’s Viagra pills, we soon discover that the new drug has a strange effect on men.

Set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. The eager new assistant, Annelle assists the outspoken, wisecracking Truvy dispensing shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby, is about to get married. The play moves forward over years, and we see all the ladies’ lives change with new experiences and tragedy. The women are affected but draw on the underlying strength—and love.

At a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, British demolition expert, “Froggy” LeSueur, regularly visits while running training sessions at a nearby army base. This visit, he brought a pathologically shy young friend named Charlie who is overcome with fear at making conversation with strangers. “Froggy” tells everyone that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Others reveal their secrets and Charlie overhears more than he should thinking he doesn’t understand a word being said, and it fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and setting up the climax where things go awry for the “bad guys,” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant.

Workday

NLT workday. We will be working on the props and costume areas, and for anyone who might need to stay upstairs (allergies) we will be doing some organizing and cleaning in the paint/tool room.
We hope to pull out props and reorganize them to the labeled areas/places that are easy to find. We will also be working on making sure the costume area is clean, putting used items away, finding space for new items, and going through to donate anything that isn’t needed any more.
We look forward to working with everyone.

Arsenic and Old Lace

Directed by Kathi Nixon
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell his aunts before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him! Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. A classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.
