ON STAGE: My Buddy Henry

In a fun and fanciful script, playwright Bob Sievers has created a comedy, a detective story, and some very interesting characters for Friday night’s show.  Ten grand has been stolen from Eddie Snarkle at his nightclub Chez Eddie.  The prime suspect is ventriloquist Tommy.  When the detective comes to investigate, Tommy’s dummy Henry has plenty to say.  My Buddy Henry stars Philip Goellner as Tommy/Henry, Scott Giannone as Eddie, Bruce McKirdy as Detective Frank, and Lori McKirdy as Eddie’s assistant Darlene.  The show is co-directed by Ann Hermes and Bob Sievers.  Christy Meier is designing and performing the sound effects with Bob Piotrowski arranging and performing the music.  Show begins at 7:00 p.m.

NOW PLAYING: Hostess

The word hostess has a sinister double meaning in this science fiction show starring Dedra Zwieg, Kevin Lee, and Kent Garlinghouse.  It was directed by Christy Meier. Music is by Bob Piotrowski with Hilary Ninman providing sound effects.
