SUCH THINGS HAPPEN ONLY  BOOKS
Directed by Richard Ralff

A married couple, Gabrielle and John, live in a small town. Except for John’s writer’s block, life seems straightforward;  but then complexities appear.  An injured maid, talk of a mystery and a treasure, a visit from a stranger… Who would have thought that things could get so complicated in such a small town?

--- CAST ---
Bethany Goldpaugh as Gabrielle
Hank Neimark as John
Bill Solley as Dr. Bumpas
Andrew Joffe as Mr. Graham

QUEENS OF FRANCE
Directed by Lena Adams

"Queens of France" is a sly little play about people’s gullibility, and the certainty that there will always be someone just waiting to exploit that gullibility. In post-Civil War New Orleans, a canny lawyer has duped three women with his story of lost royal heirs and the need to acquire the (expensive) proofs of their rank. How does he do it?  We shall see.
 

--- CAST ---

Andrew Joffe - Monsieur Cahusac, the crafty lawyer
Jill Knell - Mademoiselle Marie-Sidonie Cressaux, an attractive woman
Bethany Goldpaugh - Madame Pugeot, a middle-class wife
Joan Craig - Madamoiselle Poitevin, a spinster schoolmistress
