“Accidentally Yours” Postponed — Upcoming Auditions

In case you haven’t heard, we had to delay “Accidentally Yours” until next year. This marvelous little comedy will be back — just not for a while.

But the good news is that we have a couple of sets of auditions in June.

At 1 pm, Saturday, June 6 and 6 pm, Sunday, June 7, we will be holding auditions for the annual melodrama. This year’s selection is “Love in the Cucumber Patch or The Pickled Road to Romance”
by Janet Carter (with additional dialogue by Shannon Copeland and Sonya Heard). Performances will be held from Fri, July 17 thru Sun, Aug 2 (Fri & Sat eve; Sun mat). Contact director Norman Gouveia at NormanJr1@msn.com for more info.

At 6 pm, Tuesday, June 9 and 6 pm, Wednesday, June 10, we will be holding auditions for “I Ought to Be in Pictures” a comedy by Neil Simon. Performances will be from Fri, Nov 6 thru Sun, Nov 22 (Fri & Sat eve; Sun mat). Contact director John Sams at sams426@comcast.net for more info.

“Bench” Completes Its Run — “Accidentally Yours” Up Next!

Following the success of “A Bench in the Sun” and “The Search for the Fairy Princess,” Brush Creek’s 2015 season is off to a wonderful start. Mark you calendars for the June 5 opening of our next marvelous comedy, the 1947 farce “Accidentally Yours” by Pauline Williams Snapp.

Director Michael Wood and the cast promise a wonderful family comedy, full of confusion, laughter and memorable characters. Wood describes the play as “set in a more innocent place and time that probably never really existed, but can still provide us a fun place to visit.”

Join small-town college professor Spencer Mosby and his wife, Gladys, who is convinced that Spencer is the next great American author — and Spencer would never want to disappoint Gladys! Enjoy the successful but tongue-tied author Lawrence Conwell as he “pursues” Spencer’s niece Vivienne. And along the way you can meet (among others) Spencer’s secretary, the proper Miss Featherby, the Mosbys’ “help,” Olive, a somewhat befuddled psychiatrist named Dr. Field, and the redoubtable Mrs. Estercrazy — oops, that’s Esterhazy.

And, of course, there is the beautiful Jeanie. Or is that “Genie”?

The play runs for three weekends beginning June 5 and closing June 21 — performances are at 7 pm Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 pm on Sundays. You can find more weekend fun for $10 anywhere!
