Fountain Hills Theatre Presents ASHES TO ASHES, Now thru 10/21

Fountain Hills Theater has announced the opening of the zany comedy farce Ashes to Ashes. When Broadway Director R.J. Spaulding wakes from a wild weekend binge, he discovers that he is engaged to three women who think he is alternately a peace activist, a Russian spy and a Mafioso hit man. With the help of his neighbor, lies pile upon lies as R.J. tries to keep the girls away from each other and his alimony hungry soon-to-be-ex-wife. Ashes to Ashes is a wild and funny farce written by Fountain Hills Theater’s own Artistic Director, Peter J. Hill. The production premiered at Phoenix Theater in 1996 and was an immediate hit, receiving the 1996 AriZoni Award for Best Original Production.

This production marks the inaugural opening of Fountain Hills Theater’s new Mainstage Too series. The Mainstage Too Season is designed to feature smaller, more intimate comedies and musicals. The productions, produced on the stage of the Fountain Hills Youth Theater, will include original and unique shows that might not otherwise be seen in the valley. The Mainstage Too Season continues with Christmas Jukebox (Nov 30-Dec. 23), Back in the Saddle (Feb. 1 – 17) and Gunmetal Blues (April 26 – May 12).

Ashes to Ashes is produced by Anne Kelleher and directed by Ross Collins. Ashes to Ashes features; Dyana Carroll, Jori Mosier, Garry Myers, Janine Smith, Jenna Spets and Mike Romano.
