Mixed Co Troupe
DAVID MORRELL & HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN TO JOIN  MIXED COMPANY TROUPE FOR
SATURDAY EVENING PERFORMANCE
See Mixed Company Troupe's bawdy tale, "Twice Possessed," free to all conference attendees as Saturday night's feature entertainment.

Mixed Company Troupe transmits one line at a time to a volunteer player inserted into a one act play.  With no foreknowledge of the plot twists and turns, he or she acts their heart out as the story line evolves around them.

David Morrell has graciously agreed to ride this roller coaster experience in "Twice Possessed" while the rest of us gleefully eavesdrop. Hank Phillippi Ryan also takes the hot seat in the show The Killer, the Butcher and the Wayward Corpse.  It all begins at 8:00 PM on Saturday night.Be there for the fun!

Check out this video link where Rachael Wismont  discusses her saucy role in this play:
