UNNECESSARY FARCE
BY PAUL SLADE SMITH
DIRECTED BY DAVID ALAN MORRISON
Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.
May 26-June 11, 2023
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm – Sundays at 2pm
