Murders
by Jeffrey Hatcher
Friday and Saturday
January 15 & 16
 
Welcome to Florida's lovely Riddle Key Luxury Senior Living Center and Golf Club. It has everything: great restaurants, fancy shops, sparkling waters and murderers.  The three wickedly funny tales in Murderers reveal the intricacies behind a rash of mayhem at this peaceful retirement community.

Murderers is directed by Christine Crawfis and
Murderers3the deliciously duplicitous killers include a man who marries his mother-in-law (Michael Frohnhoefer), a scorned golden girl (RoseMarie Navarra), and the villas' vigilante (Elizabeth Barrows.)  As the body count rises, this hilariously dark comedy will convince you that some people deserve to be taken out.

"Elegant, pitch-black comedy! Rich stories, passionately told! Filled with surprise twists and sharply comic turns!"
Philadelphia Inquirer

"Witty writing! Hilarious! Brilliant! A must-see!"
Philadelphia Weekly

Jeffrey Hatcher's work includes Compleat Female Stage Beauty, Three Viewings, Scotland Road, Tuesdays with Morrie, and most recently A Picasso.

OPUS


OPUS

By Michael Hollinger


Directed by Christine Crawfis


In a world where characters are instruments and scenes are movements, a world-class, high-strung string quartet prepares for their highest-profile performance ever.  As musical ambitions collide with personal dynamics, their rehearsal room becomes a pressure cooker and their world begins to fall apart.  Passions rise, personalities clash, and the players are forced to confront the ephemeral nature of their life's work. 

 

"Sex, drugs, and chamber music!"

"...marked by a nuanced intelligence in its depiction of the complex relationship between musician's lives and their art."

- Charles Isherwood, New York Times
