SYNOPSIS: A true theatrical event, this
legendary masterpiece is considered by many to be the
greatest musical ever created. In FOLLIES the time is 1971,
and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of
ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the
stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including
"Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid
the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some
unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face
to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling,
heart-wrenching and epic in scope, FOLLIES uses the musical
theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence
and naiveté in the post-Kennedy years.
All performances are at:
The Barn Players Theatre, 6219 Martway, Mission, KS.

PRODUCTION DATES:
July 18th – August 3rd, 2014
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:00pm.
Industry Night performance: Monday, July 28, 2014 at 7:30pm.
All performances take place at…
The Barn Players, 6219 Martway, Mission, KS
SYNOPSIS:
Called the funniest farce ever written, this play presents a manic menagerie of characters as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a farce called "Nothing On".
Doors slamming, onstage and backstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
Act One is set at the dress rehearsal the night before opening with the cast still fumbling with entrances and exits, missed cues, misspoken lines, and bothersome props, most notably several plates of sardines.
In Act Two, the play is seen from backstage, providing a view that reveals the deteriorating personal relationships among the cast that have led to offstage shenanigans and onstage bedlam.
In Act Three, we see a performance near the end of the ten-week run when personal friction has continued to increase. The actors attempt to cover up a series of mishaps but only compound the problems and draw attention to the bungling performance.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
5M – 4F (special physical consideration and wardrobe disclosures included):
LLOYD DALLAS – The director of Nothing On, the farce that the characters in Noises Off are attempting to perform. Lloyd is passionate, suave, and extremely harried. He has a hot temper which he barely manages to keep in check (most of the time) as he watches his production go from bad to worse to disaster.
DOTTY OTLEY / MRS. CLACKETT – A (rather) aging prima donna. Her money is funding the production. She has a great deal of trouble remembering her lines, blocking, and props. Capable of using spite or self-pity to get her way. Plays the part of Mrs. Clackett the housekeeper for the Brent's home in England.
GARRY LEJEUNE / ROGER TRAMPLEMAIN – Means well. Believes in the theatre. Tries to keep the show going and everyone's morale up, but often has trouble finishing his sentences. His good nature is replaced with jealously when he believes Dotty has begun carrying on with Frederick. Plays the part of Roger, a real estate agent who is attempting to rent the house, but uses it for a place to have an affair with Vicki. Physical note: Falls down a flight of stairs onstage and must maneuver with shoelaces tied together.
BROOKE ASHTON / VICKI – Young and sexy, but a terrible actress. Incapable of taking direction. Spacey and tuned-out whether onstage or off. Blind as a bat without her contacts, which have a tendency to pop out at bad times. She plays the part of Vicki who works for Inland Revenue and is trying to woo Roger. Wardrobe note: Spends a majority of the show in skimpy lingerie.
POPPY NORTON-TAYLOR - The assistant stage manager of Nothing On. Overworked and often on the verge of tears. Works frantically to keep the show from completely falling apart, a hopeless (and thankless) task.
FREDERICK FELLOWES / PHILIP BRENT / SHEIKH – A neurotic, bumbling actor who is filled with self-doubt. A sweet man. Not the brightest bulb in the box. Always has a thousand questions about his lines and blocking. Violence and blood upset him, causing him to get nosebleeds. He plays the part of Phillip Brent who is currently a tax exile living in Spain with his wife Flavia. He also plays the part of Sheikh who is interested in renting the home and is the spitting image of Phillip. Physical note: Must ascend a staircase with trousers around his ankles.
BELINDA BLAIR / FLAVIA BRENT – An experienced actress who is positive, reliable, and charming. A goodhearted busybody, who knows all the gossip about the company. She attempts to keep the show going as it unravels. She plays the part of Flavia, Philip's dependable wife.
TIM ALLGOOD – The company's long-suffering stage manager who is completely exhausted and sleep-deprived. He is responsible for an inhuman number of tasks and is the understudy for multiple roles in Nothing On.
SELSDON MOWBRAY / BURGLAR - A cheerful, elderly, alcoholic who forgets his lines and misses his entrances. The entire cast attempts to keep him from getting his hands on a bottle. Panic reigns when he cannot be found at all. He plays the part of an elderly burglar breaking into the Brent's home.

Final Weekend for Beau Jest
Don't miss your last chance to catch James Sherman's Beau Jest this weekend.
Call (913) 651-0027 to reserve your seats for a look into how Sarah explains her situation to her parents and resulting events.
Sarah is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a nice Jewish boy.
They have never met her boyfriend, a WASP executive named Chris Kringle.
She tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor and they insist on meeting him. She plans a dinner party and, over the heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date to be Dr. Steinberg.
Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation.
Happily, he is extremely convincing in the role and Sarah's parents are enraptured. Soon, even Sarah falls for Bob.
Directed by Denny Dey.
Featuring Jill Seib-Schaub, Branson Bliss, Derrick Freeman, Damon Ekstrom, Tracy McClung, Kevin Albee, and Emily New.
Performances Friday and Saturday begin at 8 p.m.
Adults $10; 12 & under $5; 62+; groups 10+ $8 and anyone with a valid military identification card will receive a $1.00 discount.
The Leavenworth Performing Arts Center, 500 Delaware St, Leavenworth, KS (913) 651-0027, www.rccplv.com (Suitable for Everyone)

Who's Under Where Opens May 15
Paradise Playhouse Dinner Theatre & Events Center
Who's Under Where by Marcia Kash & Douglas E. Hughes: May 16-Jun 7: 7:45 pm Thr-Sat; 1:30 pm Sun
Jane& Sybil are on the verge of the deal of their lives, have rented a hotel suite for a very private showing of their "Passion Fashion Wear" lingerie. Italian designer Bruno Fruferelli is to attend. The models are booked, champagne is on ice and the sexy samples are on display. They have anticipated every contingency, expect the arrival of their jealous husbands who have jumped to the wrong conclusions. You have the recipe for this giddy farce in the classic tradition.

SYNOPSIS: A true theatrical event, this
legendary masterpiece is considered by many to be the
greatest musical ever created. In FOLLIES the time is 1971,
and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of
ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the
stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including
"Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid
the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some
unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face
to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling,
heart-wrenching and epic in scope, FOLLIES uses the musical
theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence
and naiveté in the post-Kennedy years.
