presents: Hotbed Hotel by Michael Parker April 4 - April 20, 2008
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm Sundays at 3:00 pm Tickets: Adults - $15, Students/Seniors: $12 Call 301-932-6819 for reservations (Comedy)
Terry and Brian Cody are hoping to sell their "One Star
Hotel" in the Florida Keys to the only man who has expressed any
interest in buying it. Unfortunately they have so few guests, they're
afraid he will see at once that the hotel is a bad investment. In order
to bolster his interest, they devise a ploy to make the hotel appear
busier and more prosperous than it actually is by having their staff
masquerade as paying guests, but their plan has one hitch. Their entire
staff consists of a bibulous maintenance man and a sexy, scatterbrained
housemaid who can't seem to remain completely clothed, leading to a
"hotbed" of intrigue culminating in a show-stopping
coup-de-theatre. A hilarious comedy that will leave Fawlty
Towers looking
like a tragedy. RECEPTION & MEET THE AUTHOR: The Producer and Director of the April comedy Hotbed Hotel have made arrangements for a reception on opening night of the show, Friday, April 4th. The reception will be held at The Crossing at Casey Jones following the performance. Everyone attending the show is invited to join us for complimentary hors d'oeuvres with a cash bar and an opportunity to meet the author of the play, Mr. Michael Parker. Mr. Parker and his wife will fly in from Florida for the reception. DIRECTOR'S WORKSHOP: Join Mr. Parker and Director
Mike Gahan before the show on Friday, April 4th from 6:45 to 7:15 pm as
they discuss the genre of the American farce and the writing and staging

Please
join us for the annual spring clean-up at the Hard Bargain Players
Amphitheatre
THIS
Saturday, April 26th, 2008, at 1:00 pm!
We need volunteers to help us get ready for our
2008 summer season HBP's first show of 2008 - Talley's
Folly - opens May 2nd
If you have them bring them ...
We need to remove the leaves from the house,
gravel road and the walk-way. We also need to clean the
bathrooms. If there is time, a truck and folks are willing we
may also make a run to the dump - but the main thing is to get the
space performance ready by removing the leaves, clearing the pathways
and cleaning the bathrooms. The more people that come out to
help - the less time it will take!
If you have any questions or need more
information please e-mail or call Suzanne Donohue (Hard Bargain

On
the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall at
southeast 
Disney
Channel's smash hit movie, High School Musical comes alive on stage! It's the first day back from winter break and all the cliques recount their vacations and look forward to the New Year. In Ms.
Daubus's homeroom, basketball team Captain Troy discovers that a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, named Gabriella, has just enrolled at East High. In the hallway, Troy and Gabriella notice the sign-up sheet for the school musical and are curious about signing up. When the drama diva, Sharpay, hears about this she tries to discourage it. Much to
Sharpay's dismay, Troy and Gabriella end up getting the callback. When she finds this out, she does everything in her power to make sure that Gabriella and Troy
can't make the callback. Can Troy and Gabriella break out of their cliques while remaining loyal to themselves?
Disney's High School Musical: On Stage features music by Matthew Gerrard, Robbi Nevil, Ray Cham, Greg Cham, Andrew Seeley, Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn, Andy Dodd, Adam Watts, Bryan Loiselle, David N. Lawrence, Faye Greenberg and Jamie Houston, is based on the story by David Simpatrico and is produced with permission from Musical Theatre International.
