FINAL INTRUSION

by local playwright Paul Kluge

September 11,12 and 13 at 7:30pm; 14 at 2:00pm
Volunteer Info
 
This two act play, billed as drama/mystery/comedy, will delight audiences.  And the best part is that it's written by our very own Paul Kluge from Chetek.  Crime takes no holiday, even on Memorial Day ... not even in a fresh little Upper Midwestern city like Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  So states the author.  This garden variety break-in should be easy work for our detective and lady cop.  But it's the intruder that turns up dead.  Who was he, why was he there, and who killed him?  It will take a mighty fine detective to figure it all out.

HIGH SOCIETY, THE MUSICAL
October 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, and 26, 2008
Audition Info             Volunteer Info
 
"High Society" is the musical remake of the classic 1939 romantic comedy, "The Philadelphia Story", starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant.  It first appeared on the silver screen in 1956 starring Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby.  This comic tale of romance, mistaken identities, and mischief ends as all good musical comedies should ... the heroine slips and falls ... IN LOVE.  It's punctuated with Cole Porter music, and will take audiences back to a time when life was simpler, and love stories were just that ... love stories.  The comic action and fabulous music will please all audiences. 
 
PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE by Neil Simon

January 22, 23, 24, 30, 31, and February 1, 2009

Audition Info             Volunteer Info

 

Neil Simon, one of the most popular twentieth-century American dramatists, is known for his comedies that examine tensions that can arise among family members or between men and women.  Barron Spotlighters is reprising this, the first show they ever did, for their 30th anniversary season.  The play chronicles a middle-aged couple, Mel and Edna's struggle to survive city life, coupled with noisy neighbors, faulty plumbing, and the loss of employment.  This marvelously funny play takes a grave subject and treats it with hearty but sympathetic humor.  It creates an atmosphere of casual cataclysm from which laughter seems to be released like vapor. 

LIFE WITH FATHER

April 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, 26, 2009

Audition Info             Volunteer Info

 
Another "oldie but goodie", originally filmed in 1947 starring William Powell, Irene Dunne, and Elizabeth Taylor.  In the late 19th century a New York Wall Street broker likes to think his house runs his way but finds himself constantly bemused at how much of what happens is down to his wife.  When it comes to light that he has never been properly baptized, and everyone starts insisting that he must do so, an epic struggle between father an mother ensues.  Billed as a drama, but with plenty of comedy to "tickle your ribs".
