Synopsis: | Young David Copperfield has a happy childhood until his widowed mother weds the stern Mr Murdstone who separates David from his caring nurse Peggotty and sends him to school far away. When Mrs Copperfield dies, young David must make his way in the city of London but, helped by the merry Micawber family and his eccentric Aunt Betsey Trotwood, he survives and grows up to become a writer. But even his adult years are challenged by the conniving clerk Uriah Heep, his betraying friend James Steerforth, and others. David gets to wed the pretty Dora whom he worships but their marriage is also a challenge and Dora's premature death leads David to discover his true character and position in life. Among the other memorable Dickens characters to appear on stage are the crusty but determined Dan Peggotty, the nerdy but faithful friend Tom Traddles, the vicious spinster Miss Murdstone, the simple-minded but lovable Mr. Dick, the understanding Agnes Wickfield, the tragic Emily, the vengeful Miss Dartle and the honest and selfless fisherman Ham. The novel is dramatized with swiftly flowing scenes that tell the plot with clarity as adult David and the nurse Peggotty serve as narrators who recall the events with personal reflection and warm sincerity | |||||

Synopsis: | In the small midwestern town of Sanford, the impossible has happened: someone has strangled crotchety old Faulkner Seaton in the reference section of the local library while the dusty old landmark was open. Most puzzling of all is the fact that nobody in the place saw or heard a thing. Inspector Trigg and his assistant, Lt. Elizabeth Roberts, are brought in from St. Louis to solve the mystery, only to discover the most unlikely collection of suspects: a meticulous librarian, his repressed assistant, a talkative small time speculator, a sweet high school girl, an elderly hypochondriac, a cynical library worker and a colorful drifter. It develops that old Seaton had stumbled into something important in the reference section and a missing book becomes the only clue. Trigg and Roberts set a trap to catch the murderer that results in a thrilling and revealing conclusion. Vivid characters and a plot that keeps the audience guessing make this whodunit an enjoyable romp for any theatre group. | |||||

| Sandy, the four-times-married-three-times-divorced owner of a wedding chapel in Las Vegas, has certainly seen her fair share of matrimonies! In the hilarious and heart-warming Four Weddings and an Elvis, we witness four of her most memorable: Bev and Stan, who are getting married as revenge on their exes; Vanessa and Bryce, two arrogant aging stars who are tying the knot as a publicity ploy; and Martin and Fiona, a gentle postal-worker and a tough ex-con who couldn't be more in love! However, the final wedding is the most touching of all: Sandy's fifth and final wedding to the love of her life. | |||||
