CHURCH GIRLS
A new campy, cheeky, audacious
musical comedy.The ladies of the
Umatilla Second Christian Church Women's Auxiliary League are getting together
to produce their annual Mother's Day Pageant.Six men play every character in this singing, acting, dancing, improv
tour de force. As the 'Church Girls' prepare for their pageant, chaos and
calamity bring out less than 'saintly' behavior.The result is Heaven sent hilarity!
"It's hoot. Actually, that is
too mild a word.At its heart, this is a
showcase for six journeymen actors (and one musician) to strut their prodigious
talents...The result is like the funnyman's version of an ESPN highlight reel -
nonstop humor from first-rate pros.When
they turn their attention to the serious business of humor - to primping and
eyelash-batting, to hip-wiggling, to catty banter, to the deliciously clever
maze of men playing women who are mocking men - it's a ball."--Review by
David Lyman, Cincinnati Enquirer, 2010--
Commonwealth
Theatre’s “Church Girls” Gets 4 Star LCT Review
Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized the Commonwealth
Theatre’s Church Girls with a 4 star review.
Panelists
wrote, “brimming with sassy, brassy, campy, and just plain
eccentric women all played by men. They play multiple women and men with
breathtakingly quick changes and spot on character changes. The girls will win
you over during the hour and 50 minutes you'll spend with them.” “Big broad
fun… A lot of very witty gags and engaging characters, full of belly laughs.”

DARKSIDE
"Spellbinding....The play has it all
soul, suspense, symbolism and surprises. Add to that medley a dash of humor and
a speck of irony." Denver Register.
"The moon is more than a place for the
misbegotten. It's a godless wilderness where hopes, dreams, fears and
frustrations are easily cauterized; where love and death co exist in zero
gravity. Yet it is also a perfect allegorical backdrop for human frailties,
especially the loneliness of the long distance heroes." Rocky Mountain
News.
"Stars
twinkle all around and the big blue marble of earth eerily arises in this
haunting new play." Time Magazine (Critic’s Choice- two weeks in a row.)
“Onto this what-if scenario
Jones grafts a worst-case outcome: When it comes time for the module to blast
off and re-dock with the spacecraft, its ignition and thrusters misfire.
Mission control is at a loss. The astronauts are in danger of being permanently
stranded, while their crewmate anxiously orbits above, gripped with loneliness
- especially when he orbits the moon's dark side.
Jones
uses flashbacks to give us crucial moments leading to the moon shot and the
crisis; the 1989 script is a witty, well-crafted mixture of sci-fi, drama and
suspense, with plenty of humor to break the tension. "Darkside,"
though, is as much a psychological study of three diverse temperaments as it is
an adventure tale of space exploration.” ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

VICTIMS OF THE ICE AGE
written, directed
Bob Reason, a
slightly befuddled anthropology professor, is manipulated
by his former college room-mate turned Senator, into taking the
blame for a crime committed long ago. Bob loses his wife,
his job and his reputation, but he finds himself a perfect
candidate in the upside-down world of politics. In this hilariously
kooky world, the line between good and evil becomes
increasingly blurred as the play progresses.

DEAD TO THE LAST DROP
written
The Action of the play occurs at a local coffee shop and bookstore called
CAFÉ CAFFEINE.
“THE CRIME” In this fast-paced Act, the characters and the Café are introduced. The play is seemingly heading in one direction,
but suddenly, there is a murder! An act break is not necessary between Acts I and II.
“THE INVESTIGATION” The
first half of ACT II finds the characters
in shock after the murder. Our detective reveals himself, and
some interesting facts begin to trickle out of the suspects. The
second half of ACT II includes the audience. The Actors realize that
they are being watched, and then they invite the
audience into their world. The Actors reenact the events
leading up to the crime with the audience making sure they do it
correctly.
“THE SOLUTION” This Act
should open with all the surviving
actors available for questioning by the audience. This session
is completely improvisational, but based on the previous text.
The question and answer session should last about 20 minutes.
At
this point, the detective will continue with a
small scene to engage the actors back into the play and present
some clues to help set up the endings. Finally, the detective
will ask the audience to vote on which actor they wish to see
found guilty, and that ending will be played out.
