Rogers Little Theater (RLT) Presents: A Bad Year for Tomatoes
Rogers, AR: Rogers Little Theater located in the historic Victory Theater in downtown Rogers proudly announces their second play of the MainStage Season with A Bad Year for Tomatoes.
Fed up with the pressures and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe (played by Laurene Franklin) leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her long-time agent, but dealing with nosy, omnipresent neighbors is a different matter. In an attempt to shoo them away, and gain some privacy, Myra invents a mad, homicidal sister who is kept in a locked room upstairs – who occasionally escapes long enough to scare off uninvited visitors. The ruse works well, at first, but complications result when the local handyman develops an affection for “Sister Sadie” and some of the more officious ladies decide it is their Christian duty to save the poor demented Sadie’s soul. In desperation Myra announces that her imaginary sibling has suddenly gone off to Boston – which brings on the sheriff (played by Mike Brown) and the suspicion of murder! Needless to say, all is straightened out in the end but the uproarious doings will keep audiences laughing right up to the final curtain and then some.
Our other actors also include: Dan Ondek as Tom Lamont, Amber Brown as Cora Gump, Hope Holmes as Reba Harper, Sean Franklin as Piney and Melissa Moore as Willa Willcox.
