Our 9th Season!

Squall

By Elizabeth Hemmerdinger
 

Sept. 12, 13 & 19, 20

***For adults only.***

Diana is a celebrated TV journalist, and a fierce guardian of her own privacy.  Isolated on an island off the coast of Maine while sorting through the personal effects of her recently deceased mother, Diana is surprised and intrigued when a young stranger, Cordelia, rings the bell.  Once a fierce summer storm washes out the bridge connecting them to the mainland, however, Cordelia reveals an unnerving intimacy with Diana’s past.  A compelling game of cat and mouse ensues, culminating in a violent life-and-death struggle. 

Blue Moon Production will once again produce a reenactment of old time radio shows.  The theater will be set up like a radio studio during the golden age of radio.  We will go “live” into the living rooms across American while you, the studio audience, watch the actors and sound effects technicians.

The Shadow’s “The Death Triangle” was originally broadcast on Dec. 12, 1947, featuring Orson Wells & Agnes Moorehead.  The Lone Ranger’s “The Imposter” was performed in 1941.  Arsenic & Old Lace was performed by the Screen Guild Players on Nov. 25, 1946 starring Boris Karloff & Eddie Albert.  Family friendly.

The Baltimore Waltz

By Paula Vogel

March 20, 21 & 27, 28

***For adults only.***

This Obie Award winner for Best New American Play, was Paula Vogel's response to the 1988 death of her brother Carl, who died from complications due to AIDS before they were able to enjoy a long-planned European vacation.  
Essentially a series of comic vignettes underlined by tragedy, the farce traces the European odyssey of sister and brother Anna and Carl, in search of pleasure and a cure for her terminal illness, the fictitious ATD (Acquired Toilet Disease) she contracted by using the bathrooms at the elementary school where she teaches.
Knowing her life is nearing its end, Anna is driven by a lust that compels her to have casual sex with as many men as possible during their travels, a passion shared by her gay brother. 

From the moment father Bud Turpin dies at the breakfast table right on through his burial, Dearly Departed makes it clear that there’s more to living & dying in the Bible Belt than you can shake a corn dog at.  
Dearly Departed, set somewhere south of the Mason Dixon line, tells the story of father Turpin’s funeral & its aftermath, not to mention the dizzying array of crazies who are attached to him. This husband and patriarch of the family, was not exactly God-fearing, or even perhaps likable and, as a result, his extended family has a variety of unexpected responses to his passing. When his wife is asked by the preacher, who is to give the eulogy at his funeral, to describe her husband, the widow succinctly replies that Bud was "mean and surly."
