It's only a couple of weeks in to 2013, and already so much has happened at Playhouse on Park. A packed house welcomed 2013 at our Annual New Year's Eve Murder Mystery party. We had a workshop for a new work called "The Clowns." A rock opera written and composed locally. We had a comedian/mime perform two shows and sold out the place and then some for our third Comedy Night of the season.
But Wait There's More.
The set for our next main stage show, Moonlight & Magnolias is already up. The show is a rip roaring farce with witty, pointed dialogue and hilarious situations. The story centers on three of Hollywood's greatest film collaborators who are locked in a room for five days as they rush to rewrite the screenplay for "Gone With The Wind" which has halted production after just three weeks.
Having been at the playhouse during rehearsals, I could hear the madcap hilarity going on behind closed doors. Also, while hauling old set pieces out, I saw a variety of props strewn across the stage. What they all were and how they got there, I don't know, but I can't wait t find out.

Now if you're like me, and who wouldn't want to be like me? That's a rhetorical question. Anyway, if you are like me, you probably want to help out at Playhouse on Park, but weren't sure how. Here's how, come party with us, that's right party. You see we have these two old gals who run the place, Tracy and Darlene (Sean helps too). Their collective age is 101, so there throwing themselves a birthday party and gifts are welcome, not for them, but for the playhouse. Not sure what you can get us? We've compiled a list: Copy and paste in to your browser, then go to the store.
