Castle Craig Players to Present TROUBLE AT THE TROPICABANA, 2/26-3/6

Take a walk down memory lane with Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel when the Castle Craig Players present TROUBLE AT THE TROPICABANA, an audience participation murder mystery by Tony Schwartz and Marylou Ambrose. This hilarious spoof on the classic TV series "I Love Lucy" will run for two weekends only - February 26-March 6 - at the group's intimate Meriden venue.

Sit back and enjoy the Latin music and dancing at the Tropicabana Night Club, as Ricky gets ready to sign a contract with movie mogul heiress Celia B. DeMilo. Is Celia who she claims to be? Will Lucy and Ethel ruin Ricky's big chance with another of their harebrained schemes to get into show business? What's the notorious gangster Mr. Big doing at Ricky's club? And who committed the murder? The murder? That's right-the murder!

This hilarious show contains all the zaniness of an "I Love Lucy" episode, as well as singing, dancing by Ricky and his club girls, and conga lines and mambo lessons performed by your audience! Kevin Reid and Nicole Morin play everyone's favorite TV couple, Ricky and Lucy, and are joined by Stephanie Kull and Ed Hobson as their devoted friends, Ethel and Fred. Rounding out the cast are Stu Wolther as Mr. Big, Asha Rangappa as Celia B. DeMilo, Kathy Wade as Rosita, and Rachel Sondak as your hostess for the evening! The show is directed by Mark Laucella.
