Spotlight Theater Company is proud to announce our 2011/2012 season. Playing October 1st thru November 5th.  Wait Until Dark Written by Frederick Knott Directed by Linda Suttle Three criminals have traced the location of a mysterious doll, which they are very much interested
in, to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind
wife, Susy. Sam has been persuaded by a strange woman to transport this
doll back across the Canadian Border. He is unaware that sewn inside
the doll is something that the three criminals want desperately to
recover. Through a cleverly constructed deception they convince Susy
that the police have implicated her husband Sam in a local murder and
the doll is the key to his innocence, thereby getting Susy to assist in
finding the doll. With the help of a young neighbor girl she realizes
that she is the victim of a bizarre charade, and she is now in very
serious danger.  Dearly Departed Written by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones Directed by Luke Allen Terry Despite
their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father's
funeral, the Turpin family's other problems keep overshadowing the
solemn occasion: Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself silly as the funeral
bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling financial ruin, a pack
of no-neck monster kids, and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in
the family car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as
she does life, by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more
than two cents. Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their
friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage
to pull together and help each other through their time of need in this gut-busting Southern fried comedy! Playing May 26th - June 30th.  Beau Jest Written by James Sherman Directed by Katie Mangett Sarah
is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a
nice Jewish boy. They have never met her boyfriend, a WASP executive
named Chris Kringle. She tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor and
they insist on meeting him. She plans a dinner party and, over the
heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish
date to be “Dr. Steinberg.” Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an
aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation. Happily, he is
extremely convincing in the role and Sarah's parents are enraptured.
Soon, even Sarah falls for Bob! |
