Next Major Production :
Everybody Loves Opal
Opal Kronkie, a middle-aged recluse, lives in a tumbledown mansion at the edge of the municipal dump. Opal collects things anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon. Opal is also an optimist, for no matter how mean her lot - or her "friends" Opal responds with unfailing kindness and an abiding faith in the goodness of human nature.
Into her life come Gloria, Bradford and Solomon, three scam artists on the lam from the authorities. After meeting Opal, they decide that what she needs is plenty of insurance, a rapid demise, and three beneficiaries named Gloria, Bradford and Solomon.
Attempted murder shouldn't seem so funny, but in the playwright's magic hands it is uproarious. The unsavory trio concoct several elaborate schemes to do away with Opal, but all of them backfire. Through it all, Opal radiates kindness, affection and, strangely enough, gratitude.
For a fun evening with the bag lady with a heart of gold, make your reservations now.
