Remember the TV Series - A war comedy details the exploits of military doctors and nurses at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in the Korean War. Between hospital shifts and countless rounds of martinis, wisecracking surgeons Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre make it their business to undercut the smug, moralistic pretentious Maj. Frank Burns and Army true-believer Maj. "Hot Lips" Houlihan.

Here is a wild farce with twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken identities and hilarious comic lines. Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur are out of work musicians who room together in New York City. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as a married.
The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the "couple" they're going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner. Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon's fiancee, Kate. Complicating matters further Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon's back, Jon's mother drops in unexpectedly to meet her son's fiancee, and Leslie's ex girlfriend shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and won't see her anymore.
List of Characters:
Leslie Arthur - Lacks confidence. Nervous energy. Carrys a good deal of the play's comedy.
Kate Dennis - a "pretty brunette" Her character must not be shy about physical contact and kissing men. Female lead role.
Mr. Jansen - "a beer-bellied drunk of a landlord". Nosy and suspicious as well.
Jon Trachman - Leslie's roomate. Good looking. Likeable. More of a straight man to Leslie's comedic character.
Floyd Spinner - IRS agent. Glasses, briefcase. Suspicious. Conservative values. Drinks Scotch until drunk.
Vivian Trachtman - a middle aged stoic woman with "smart" clothes. Conservative values. This is Jon's mother from Chicago.
Connie - Leslie's girlfriend. Attractive and a talker. Not too bright. May be carried off stage in one scene by Jansen. Connie's role is smaller than Kate's role.
Arnold Grunion - A 'shady' character. Wears a trenchcoat. It turns out he is a Justice of the Peace. Last scene only - maybe 10 lines.

In spooky graveyard, the darkly lovely Claudia, a Guardian of Dark Tales, retells famous horror stories much to the delight of her lumpy husband, Igor. As she tells classics such as "Dracula," "Frankenstein," "The Three Werewolves," "Jekyll and Hyde," "The Tragic Tale of the Mummy," and "The Three Witches," the characters come to life. However, the stories are all a bit different than we expect. In fact, instead of being terrifying, they are actually quite humorous. Characters behave in unexpected ways, accidents occur, but all turns out well. laudia's tales are far more funny than scary, and all is resolved into a neat, happy ending (and an exciting, crowd-pleasing dance number!). Show runs approximately 90 minutes.
Show Dates: October 28th, 29th*, and 30th
Show times: Oct 28 @ 7:30, Oct 29 @ 2:30 & 7:30, Oct 30 @ 2:30
*Daddy's Dyin', Who's Got The Will? - Dinner Show
November 4 - 6, 11-13; 2011
Directed by: Justin Sanders
November 4 - 6, 11-13; 2011
Performance is presented in conjunction with The Music Ministry of First United Methodist Church of Groves, located at 6501 Washington Street, Groves, TX.
"Set in a small Texas town in anytime, U.S.A., Daddy's Dyin' concerns the reunion of a family gathered to await the imminent death of their patriarch, who has recently suffered a physically as well as mentally disabling stroke. In essence, however, it is not the story of the impending demise of the father or of the drafting of his will, but of a rebirth of the spirit of the family unit. Without becoming ponderous, losing a sense of humor or pandering to timeworn cliches about Texans or Texas drawls, the story shares many elements of a good summer novel: it's a fast, delicious, easy read with funny moments, tense moments, touching moments, and characters you care about."-The Hollywood Reporter

Just in time for the Christmas Holiday. This is a tale that we want to believe in, that creates a world we seem to desperately desire, free of the blatant commercialism that surrounds us, where love and decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards. What we want Christmas to be all about, really." So writes the Santa Cruz Sentinel of this most heartwarming holiday story. By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy's. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy's customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy's vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. Especially at stake is one little girl's belief in Santa. In a dramatic decision, the court confirms Kris as the true Santa, allowing Susan and countless other children to experience the joy of childhood fantasy.
