Move Over Mrs. Markham
By John Chapman and Ray Cooney January 10 - March 3, 2013
To Sylvie it's the "goose" that she learned from Alistair, but to Philip, Joanna Markham's husband, it's "a variety of geese," and fifteen years of marriage is just about undone along with everything else in this wild zany free for all.
Everything from Philip's business deals with Bow Wow Books and Alistair's near escape from Joanna's chiding seduction to the naked G.P.O. girl and the specter of scandal is hilarious.
A lot of bed hopping occurs as Sylvie winds up taking Alistair on "walkies" and the amazing Mrs. Markham gets her man her husband!
It all takes place in an elegant top floor London flat.
Murder Among Friends
By Bob Barry March 7 - April 28, 2013
Take an aging, exceedingly vain actor; his very rich wife; a double dealing, double loving agent; plunk them down in an elegant New York duplex and add dialogue crackling with wit and laughs and what do you have? The basic elements for an evening of pure, sophisticated entertainment!
Angela, the wife and Ted, the agent, are lovers and plan to murder Palmer, the actor, during a contrived robbery on New Year's Eve. But actor and agent are also lovers and have an identical plan to do in the wife.
A murder occurs, but not one of the planned ones.
Over The River And Through The Woods
By Joe DiPietro May 2 - June 16, 2013
Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida. That doesn't mean his family isn't still in Jersey.
In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he's been offered a dream job. The job he's been waiting for--marketing executive--would take him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. He tells them. The news doesn't sit so well.
Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. How could he betray his family's love to move to Seattle, for a job, wonder his grandparents? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level best, and that includes bringing to dinner the lovely--and single--Caitlin O'Hare as bait...

By Jim Brochu June 20 - July 28, 2013

She wants to do it, but her husband Walter is dead set against it and Gussie discovers she has stage fright and can't open her mouth in front of a camera.
Everybody tries to help her get over it ... Walter through hypnotism, Bernie her agent by threats; and even wacky Gypsy Carmen from next door casts spells.

A three scene love triangle involving a woman, her lover, and her husband.
In the first scene the wife and her lover plot to murder the husband.
In the second scene the wife and her husband are plotting to murder the lover.
The third scene has the husband and the lover plotting to murder the wife - but this attempt, like the others, fails.
