Photo Flash: Arden Playhouse Presents SOAP SOLUTION, Closing Tonight
Arden Playhouse presents Soap Solution, a comedy in two acts by Michael Messmer. Messmer has written over thirty plays and has seen many of them produced at Arden Playhouse. He is also the director of Soap Solution and has incorporated elements of melodrama, bedroom farce, and vaudeville to craft Soap Solution into a wildly hilarious and zany romp. See the production photos below!
Larry King thinks he's washed up as a writer. His wife recently left him in an attempt to shake him out of his depression. Now he's gone to a mountain cabin for a few weeks of peace and quiet and crossword puzzles. His wife, however, has other plans for him. She's hired some actors who've done bit parts on several soap operas. Her plan is for them to get him caught up in a crazy story they have concocted based on their experiences in the soaps. Keeping him confused is their objective and they seem to succeed for a while with situations that range from a potential suicide to a potential sexual orgy. Just when his wife thinks they've succeeded in rattling his cage, he turns the tables on her and (with a little help from the actors) convinces his wife that her plan may have gone awry.
Arden Playhouse welcomed veteran Patty Thiel and four new actors to its company for Soap Solution. Patty Thiel (Sarah), Phillip Pittman (Larry), Stephanie Hobson (Marsha), Stephanie Smith (Gwen), and Chris Smith (Jeff) are the cast bringing this comedy to life.
