Try and cheat the I.R.S. and look what happens! Here is a wild comedy with twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken identities and hilarious comic lines. Two men, Jon and Leslie, 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 married just as the I.R.S. informs the "couple" they're going to be investigated. Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon's fiancée, Kate, complicating matters further as the comedy builds.
From l-r: John McMahon (Floyd Spinner ), Debbie Pickering (Director), Gary Gagnon (Jansen),
Jeff Repko (Leslie), Margaret Lynott (Vivian), Matt Bond (Jon), Lori Goldring (Kate),
Susan Schneider (Connie) and Gail Connelly (not shown as Grunion)

Spoon River Anthology
By Lee Edgar Masters, Directed by Heather A. H. Morrison
Spoon River Anthology revisits the deceased inhabitants of a small town to artfully explore the secrets they took with them to the grave. Frequently uplifting and always thought provoking, this production combines humor, drama, and passion to form a compelling series of vignettes. The stories of lovers, ministers, teachers, and more, interweave in a tapestry of pleasure and pathos providing audience members with an accomplished and engaging theatrical experience. Although Spoon River Anthology examines the truth of mortality, it is ultimately about life, for as one of the townspeople states, “It takes life to love life.”

Six of the most noted of Shakespeare's heroines convene at the home of Juliet in Verona. They are, in addition to Juliet, Portia from "The Merchant of Venice," Katharine from "The Taming of the Shrew," Desdemona from "Othello," Ophelia from "Hamlet," and Cleopatra from "Antony and Cleopatra." Juliet has fallen in love with Romeo and the other five visit her to instruct her in the art of successfully carrying out her romance. Portia's advice is very legal. Katharine is present to inform Juliet that the ways of the shrew bring results. Desdemona has her tale to tell of how Othello "just smothers her with affection." Ophelia is as mad and dithery as a March hare, and the siren, Cleopatra, imparts her method with the stalwart Antony. But in the end they find that the youthful Juliet can give all of them lessons in love, despite her extreme youth.
