The White Liars/Black Comedy -- SPECIAL FUNDRAISER PERFORMANCE

SPECIAL PERFORMANCE -- ALL FUNDS AFTER PLAY COSTS DONATED TO NEW HOPE CENTER OF PARIS (Homeless Shelter).

Broad Comedy with boisterous moments and light adult humor.

Black Comedy (5 men, 3 women) a one-act farce by Peter Shaffer, first performed in 1965. The play is written to be staged under a reversed lighting scheme: the play opens on a darkened stage. A few minutes into the show there is a short circuit, and the stage is illuminated to reveal the characters in a "blackout." On the few occasions when matches, lighters, or torches are lit, the lights grow dimmer. The title of the play is a pun. Brindsley Miller, a young sculptor, and his debutante fiancée Carol Melkett have borrowed some expensive, antique furniture from his neighbor Harold's flat without his permission in order to impress an elderly millionaire art collector coming to view Brindsley's work, and Carol's father Colonel Melkett. When the power fails, Harold returns early, and Brindsley's ex-mistress Clea shows up unexpectedly, things slide into disaster for him. DIRECTED BY WILLIAM WALKER

The White Liars (2 men, 1 woman) evolves around Sophie Lemberg, an eccentric and disillusioned fortune teller (who imagines herself to be a baroness of the Holy Roman Empire) living in a decaying seaside resort, and the two young menTom, the lead singer in a rock band, and Frank, his business managerwho consult her. It soon becomes clear that their lives are much stranger than the fiction Sophie tries to create in her magic ball. dIRECTED BY LISA MARTIN
