written by Steph DeFerie

directed by Michael Prince

 

It's a few minutes to eight, New Year's Eve, 1940, at a radio studio and a group of beleaguered employees are desperately trying to put on a live show. It's the most important episode ever of "Invitation to Danger", but everything is going wrong û the organist and the sound effects man have eloped, the director is missing, one of the cast has passed out on the sofa and the script has arrived at literally the last moment! Will our heroes Steve, Blackie and Pete finally uncover the true identity of the Hooded Terror or will he escape them again? Will our plucky cast and crew wrestle some sort of sense from this hysterical catastrophe, or will chaos prevail? Tune in and find out.

The McConnell sisters are two of the most ruthless and evil gypsies ever to set foot in Ireland. When they discover that the recently widowed Michael O’Leary and his daughter Mary have inherited the coveted Blarney Stone, they will stop at nothing to acquire it and the Leprechaun’s Pot O’ Gold that lies beneath. Using all of their gypsy charm, they concoct a double wedding to fetch the Stone from Michael and steal the upstanding Gary McGoodman away from Mary’s heart. The O’Leary’s will need the luck of the Irish and the help of the family dog to ward off the gypsies wicked ways. This is one wild melodrama full of romance, adventure and most of all fun.

 

 

 

 

How The West Was

Really Won"

April 18 - May 24, 2008

 

written by Arnie Carlos

The old west is full of tales tall and small. Some might say the truth gets a bit blurred when they’re retold. But they wouldn’t say that if they were talking about ol’ Snake Willoughby, former Sheriff of Deadwater, AZ in the late 1880’s. Snake lived the kind of life that legends are made of. Watch as Snake relives some of his most daring battles and narrow escapes. From the arrest of Wild Bill to the defeat of Dastardly Diego, you will be in for a rip-roaring, side-splitting , rootin’-tootin’ hullabaloo. Chock full of a wild cast of characters and plenty of Melodrama action, this is one show the family won’t want to miss.
