Unnecessary Farce – by Paul Slade Smith
March 26 – April 5
Thursday-Saturday shows: 7:30pm; Sunday shows are a matinee only: 2:30pm
COMEDY – In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. Presented by City Park Players.
ABOUT THE SHOW – “The laugh-out-loud comedy has everything one can hope for in a modern-day farce: two likeable cops operating way out of their league, a supposedly crooked mayor with impeccable timing, his innocent-acting wife, a shy accountant with a penchant for dropping her drawers, a nervous double agent who’s like to get IN those drawers, a Scottish hit man whose brogue gets thicker the angrier he gets, two adjoining hotel rooms, simmering sexual tension and eight doors a slammin’.” – Donald V. Calamia, Between the Lines (Michigan)
