Theatrical Outfit Presents “Summer and Smoke” @ Balzer
Theatre at Herren’s
By Tennessee Williams
Opening Night Saturday March 5
Alma Winemiller, a minister’s daughter, lives a spinsterish
existence in her parents’ Mississippi home and carries a torch
for her handsome next-door neighbor, John Buchanan. He prefers the
company of Rosa who is a uninhibited as Alma is repressed. When
Alma reacts with an act of vengeance, it has tragic consequences.
By the end, the previously straitlaced Alma, unhinged by events,
has become misguidedly passionate and willful.

“Hooray for Hollyweird” @ Agatha’s
Grab your Oscar & hold on tight to your Golden Globes! Hollyweird's
biggest collection of wacko stars want to move Tinsel Town to Georgia,
but there's a psycho southern killer who has other plans! Just as
plans are finalized to move Hollyweird California to beautiful Butt-Head
Georgia, the mysterious Sweet Tea Strangler goes on another murderous
rampage. No one is safe with this sugary sweet assassin in town.
Can Atlanta Mayor Surley Frankly & California Govern-ator Arnold
Squat-some-later stop the Sweet Tea Strangler before he spoils the
big move? Probably not. I mean, come on, they're just politicians.
It's going to take a Super Cop to bring this villan to justice.
Let's just hope he arrives before the brightest stars in Hollyweird
are snuffed out. Russel Crowbar, Britney Spheres, Sloop Dogg, Jessica
Simpleton, Jim Scary, Jay Chin-o, Halle Barely and You are on the
guest list to appear. "Who will disappear?", is the question.
JOIN THE FUN AND FIND THE MURDERER!! IT MIGHT EVEN BE YOU! As always
at Agatha's, the audience participates in the action in the comic
murder mystery. Each night, the entire audience has a chance to
die laughing between 5 courses of dinner including hor d'oeuvres,
a choice of entree' and very cheap wine with the meal. Prices range
from $45.00 to $55.00 per person.
