A BAD YEAR FOR TOMATOES
By John Patrick
A live theater comedy, with local cast, presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
Directed by Bev Startin
Jan 27 Friday 7:00 pm
Jan 28 Saturday 3:00 & 7:00 pm
Jan 29 Sunday 3:00 pm
(ended)
Fed up with the pressures and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her long-time agent, but dealing with her nosy, omnipresent neighbors is a different matter. In an attempt to shoo them away, and gain some privacy, Myra invents a mad, homicidal sister—who is kept locked in an upstairs room, but who occasionally escapes long enough to scare off uninvited visitors. The ruse works well, at first, but complications result when the local handyman develops an affection for “Sister Sadie” (really Myra in a fright wig) and some of the more officious ladies decide it is their Christian duty to save the poor demented Sadie’s soul. In desperation Myra announces that her imaginary sibling has suddenly gone off to Boston—which brings on the sheriff and the suspicion of murder! Needless to say, all is straightened out in the end, but the uproarious doings will keep audiences laughing right up to the final curtain, and then some.

Balcony Row 1 has reopened. (Nov 9, 2022)
We have completed phase 1 of a more limited balcony remodel, moving rows 1 and 2, to reopen row 1. Row 1 (row J), now has 5 inches more foot and leg room than before, and has been opened up for sale.
Row K (row 2 in balcony) now has 2 inches less leg room than it had; which is like the rest of the rows in the balcony.
Row L (row 3) is now closed, because it does not have enough leg room, until we finish the next phase of remodeling next year. That phase will lift the remaining rows a little higher and farther apart.
We have notified everyone that had reservations in balcony row 2 or 3, by phone or email. Contact us if you have questions.
