• Phantom of the (your venue or group name here)

  • It's the out-of-town audition for yet another production of "Phantom". The producer, Clinton Slade, is attempting to keep peace and mollify the artistic force behind the production, the genius impresario, Marco Virelli. Marco is being his usual temperamental and difficult self. He is imperious with his sister, Theresa, his wife, Alexis, and his boorish brother-in-law, Timmy. Maria, the ingénue, is the only one with whom he has any patience. Producer Slade watches as his show, and his investment, go down the drain after one of the principal players is murdered! Among the suspects is another "Phantom" - the one that haunts your location and is seen and heard, in glimpses, throughout the performance.

Felicity Crump rocks and knits slipper-socks for her "boys in the slammer" - criminals she's apprehended. Kelly Boggs, the world's oldest teenage detective, is obsessed with forensics.

• Trifles by Susan Glaspell

  • Based on actual events that occurred in Iowa at the turn of the century, Trifles is a murder mystery that explores gender relationships, power between the sexes, and the nature of truth. Farmer John Wright has been found murdered in his bed. The likely suspect is his wife, Minnie Wright. While the men bluster and tramp around the farmhouse searching for clues, the women discover bits of evidence in the "trifles" of a farmer's wife - her baking, cleaning, and sewing. Because the men virtually ignore the women's world, they remain blind to the truth before their eyes. This one-act play is an excellent example of early feminist drama.

• Girls Night Out (music, comedy, drama)

  • A collection of music and monologue relevant to women. Don't be fooled by the title - men will love this production as well!
