Fountain Hills Theatre Presents ASHES TO ASHES, 10/5-21

Fountain Hills Theater is proud to announce the opening of the zany comedy farce Ashes to Ashes. When Broadway Director R.J. Spaulding wakes from a wild weekend binge, he discovers that he is engaged to three women who think he is alternately a peace activist, a Russian spy and a Mafioso hit man. With the help of his neighbor, lies pile upon lies as R.J. tries to keep the girls away from each other and his alimony hungry soon-to-be-ex-wife. Ashes to Ashes is a wild and funny farce written by Fountain Hills Theater's own Artistic Director, Peter J. Hill. The production premiered at Phoenix Theater in 1996 and was an immediate hit, receiving the 1996 AriZoni Award for Best Original Production. (more...)
