Ever since the Super SmartMart and the rendering plant closed, folks have been leaving Fayro in
droves, and it’s up to the sisters to save it from extinction. Honey Raye (Linda Granger), Rhonda Lynn (Mary Koenigsknecht) and Geneva (Kris Pecora) team up to plan “Fayro Days” to save the town while Twink (Emily English) desperately tries to get Deputy Buntner (Mark Cosgrove) to the altar; Preacher Justin (Steven Edgerly) and his new wife G.J. (Cathleen Edgerly) face a gambling dilemma; and Frankie (Jane Goebel) deals with her husband, Dub’s (Chris Goeckel), mid-life crisis while her five year old twins tear up the town. And, unfortunately for all of them, the “meanest woman in 12 counties,” Dub’s wicked, old Aunt Iney (Winifred Olds), is on her way for a visit. How the Futrelle sisters and the citizens of Fayro, including sweet, simple, Raynerd Chisum (Gordon Hicks) and visitors (Ron McNeill & Elizabeth Todd) pull together and save the town is a testament to Southern strength and ingenuity. A laugh-out-loud farce and a stand-alone play in its own right, SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY is the third play in the trilogy that began with DEARLY BELOVED and continued with CHRISTMAS BELLES. |

Opal Kronkie (Jane Zussman) the loveable junk collector who believes in the goodness of mankind and imparts little tidbits of wisdom to the audience throughout the play is back in this hilarious sequel to last season’s, Opal’s Baby. This time, Opal is bent, as usual, on a good deed trying to round up a husband for her friend Rosie (Winifred Olds) by answering a lonely hearts ad placed by “Mister Handsome” (Mark Zussman). When he arrives, he proves to be a 95- year-old escapee from a nursing home! Complications and comedy ensue when Rosie rejects her would-be suitor, and Opal reluctantly agrees to marry him to keep him out of the clutches of his scheming daughter (Jan Ross) and son-in-law (Dan Pappas). The plot thickens hilariously and, in the end, Opal is left with another delightful lesson in life to pass on to her myriad admirers. Opal’s Husband is a comedic gem!

If you like “Clue,” the game, this is the perfect play for you. The play is set on a dark stormy night at a holein-the-wall club, Vinnie’s Belly Laugh. A group of performers come together for a talent competition with deadly results as one of them turns out to be a murderer. The audience gets involved and during intermission they are encouraged to talk to the over-the-top characters including a smarmy MC, a baton-twirling cheerleader, an overbearing comedienne, a German
jazz singer, a not-so-good ventriloquist, an egotistical hypnotist and a drag queen with a lipsynching dog, to help determine one of the six possible endings of the play. PG-13 includes some adult themes. |
