The hilarious story of a theatre group trying
desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps
revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress
rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong does.
The play provides non-stop laughs throughout this fast-paced romp.
The show will be directed by Kimberly Tyner Jones and will run for eight total performances
July 20-30.
The play will have acting roles available for seven women and three men.
This classic dramatic comedy follows eight bus
passengers stranded at 1950s roadside diner in the middle of a snowstorm. A young,
rambunctious cowboy is headed back to his ranch in Montana after falling in love and
kidnapping the first girl he meets — a nightclub singer named Cherie. Mix in a no-nonsense
sheriff, a flirty bus driver, a tipsy college professor, and two waitresses just trying to referee the
madness, and you’ve got a wonderfully heartfelt play that has charmed audiences for more than
60 years.
Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” Our Town presents the
small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and
Eternity.”
Broadway’s smash-hit farce makes its way to TRP. The play within a play follows Opening
Night of Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham
Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. The 1920s whodunit has
everything you never want in a show – an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play
dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines)
Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his
“number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home.
TRP will accept new one-act play submissions from local writers after the first of the year and
will choose two of those plays for production. This show will consist of an evening of the top
two one-act plays penned by local wordsmiths
