Dark Age Comedy Comes to Hanover in INCORRUPTIBLE

The next show at Hanover Little Theatre (HLT) will show the difficulties of life for the monks in Priseaux, France in 1250, A.D. Their patron, Saint Foy, has not performed a miracle in more than a decade, leading to a steep decline in donations to the monastery.

The Dark Ages get even darker when they find out a rival church claims they have the bones of Saint Foy, and the Pope is headed to see The Miracles happening there. That's when the monks learn a lesson from a one-eyed minstrel and take drastic and hilarious action to restore their reputation.

Tickets are on sale now for Incorruptible, a comedy by Michael Hollinger. The show runs March 31-April 2 and April 6-9.

Online ticket sales are available around the clock at www.hanoverlittletheatre.com. You can also call 637-5297 to reserve tickets.

All tickets are $15. There will be a $2 charge for all phone orders and a $1 charge for any tickets delivered through the mail. There are discounts available for students and seniors as well as groups of 10 or more. Plan a group outing and save money.

The theatre will once again raise funds for a local nonprofit community partner. The partner for this show will be the Hanover Area Council of Churches.

The theatre will donate $2 for every ticket sold to the Saturday, April 1, show to the Council of Churches. An anonymous patron will match that donation, generating $4 for every person attending that performance. Additionally, donations for the Council of Churches will be accepted at all seven performances.

The theatre has donated $4,300 to a variety of groups since inaugurating this effort in November 2014.

Director Charlie Beard's cast mixes familiar faces with HLT newcomers. Dave Zinn (Brother Charles) and Gary Wetzel (Brother Olf) will make their HLT debuts alongside Gary Grecco (Brother Martin) and Chad Zepp (Brother Felix) as the quartet of monks.

Beau Bowden (Jack), Nicole Merkel (Marie) and Faye Snyder (Peasant Women) play the residents of Priseaux while Bonnie Raubenstine (Agatha) is the nun who makes life difficult for the monks.
