Season 4: 2008-2009

Opal's Baby - October 3-4 & 10-11, 2008
Directed by Linda Granger
Opal Kronkie is a wonderfully naive and wise lady living in her tumbledown home at the edge of a dump.  She sits in her rocker and tells us about life.  Opal has seen fine and not-so-fine characters in her time.  She believes that "there ain't such a thing as a bad human being - just a few models that need to be recalled."  In this story, Opal becomes the victim of a family of rural conmen who think she is easy prey.  Did they ever pick the wrong victim!  Needless to say, the "plot thickens" hilariously that happily all ends well, at least for Opal, who emerges safe, sound and ready for whatever is next!

But Why Bump of Barnaby - April 24-25 & May 1-2, 2009
Directed by Linda Granger
This lunatic show poses a fascinating mystery.  Barnaby​ is murdered at a family gathering at Marlate Manor.  He had a motive to murder everybody else but no one had a reason to want him dead.  While dying, he scrawled the letters b a r which implicates everyone.  While the bizarre group frantically tries to unmask the murderer, people vanish, poison is found in the sherry and the police take forever to arrive.  Meanwhile there's a secret treasure to be found, a mystifying limerick to decode and all sorts of doom to be avoided before the killer is finally unmasked and destroyed using one of the funniest methods ever seen on stage.
