SYNOPSIS
OF SCENES
|
|
|
|
The Cloudcroft Light
Opera Company's new 2009 Summer FREE melodrama
season kicks off this weekend with the show "Someone
Save My baby Ruth!"
When lovely young widow
Penny Candy (Larisa Hoke) and her baby, Ruth, are taken
in by her Aunt Praline (Janet Weatherly), owner of The
Sweet Shoppe candy store, little does Penny know both
love and danger lie ahead.
The villainous Sidney
Swindle (Arlan Ponder) is determined to buy The Sweet
Shoppe as part of his plan to sell the property to the
city for America's first subway system. Should Praline
refuse his offer, Sidney is prepared to do away with her
and her heirs in order to obtain the land at public
auction!
With the help of his beautiful but less
than brilliant cohort in crime, Ada Sourball (Jessica
Seeboerger), the villain sets his evil scheme in motion.
The hilarious results include the Kidnapping of Baby
Ruth, an attempt to burn down The Sweet Shoppe and a wild
chase through the audience with the good guys pelting the
villains with candy... which the audience can eat, of
course!
Other characters include Penny's new love
and our hero, police officer Ernest Noble (Joplin Sell),
cooks Farron Heit (Jeremy Colbert)and Cindy Grade (Kenzi
Ponder) and clerk Taffy Toffee(Morgan Beasley) and her
boyfriend Hubert Tom (Justin Colbert).
We'll have
the audience eating out of our hands... literally... in
this tasty theatrical treat.
Show dates are May
22, 23, 24, June 5, 6, 19 & 20. Curtain opens at
7:30pm each night and is FREE! Come early to get a good
sit and buy popcorn to throw at the villain!
(Did
I mention it's FREE, crazy fun for the whole family??)
