Farce Reigns Supreme at the Warehouse
Cash on Delivery, a seriously silly play by Michael Cooney, closes Westside Players’ 2008 season with loads of laughs. David Montgomery-Blake directs a skilled cast in this fast-paced British farce. When Eric (played by Travis W. Hopkins) began cashing his former lodger’s checks from social services, he was just trying to get through a spot of unemployment. But it was so easy that he kept applying for more and more benefits for more and more nonexistent lodgers. Now he wants to quit, but when he begins by killing off an imaginary tenant, his real lodger, Norman (played by Daniel Varas) gets pulled into the plot. Eric’s Uncle George (played by Nick Smith) knows what’s been going on but Eric’s wife Linda (Marni Montgomey-Blake) only knows that something’s gone very wrong. The arrivals of a social worker (Regina Champion), an undertaker (Dine Smith), two government inspectors (Walt Mecham and Lisa Hammond), a psychiatrist (Elias Trejo), and Norman’s fiancée Brenda (played by Catherine Wilson), multiply the madness. Who’s who? What’s what? Who’s dead? Who’s alive? And why’s that man wearing a maternity dress? Join us for the fun.

An Extraordinary Season
We’re really excited about our 2009 Season. It has everything–comedy, romance, suspense, and a little madness—written by some of your favorite playwrights. The season opens January 30 with Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies, a romantic romp set in the 1950s. Spring brings Relatively Speaking by Alan Ayckbourn, a comedy about young, and not-so-young, love. In July you can see Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feeling So Sad, Arthur Kopit’s absurd and very funny look at family relations. The Art of Murder, a witty mystery by Joe DiPietro, closes the year. Be sure to pick up a 2009 Season Brochure when you attend Cash on Delivery. Season Tickets, which represent a substantial savings over single admissions, are on sale at the Raven’s Nest or at the door show nights.
Delightful Art
Gracing the Lobby Gallery for our fall show is the work of local painter Carolyn Purnell. Although she’s worked in several media, including photography, Purnell now specializes in porcelain art. A retired Administrative Director for the FBI, Carolyn has lived, worked, and studied art in several states. Join us on October 3, beginning at 6:00 p.m., for a champagne reception where you can celebrate the art and meet the artist.
Exciting Prizes
On closing night, October 25, we’ll have our 2008 Grand Prize drawing. Every raffle ticket purchased this year will be back in the final drawing following the show that night. The Grand Prize is Four Dinner and Show Season Tickets for 2009 plus a T-shirt for each show. Second prize is the two-liter bottle of Mondavi Cabernet-Sauvignon. Third Prize is Two Dinner and Show Season Tickets for 2009. Proceeds from the nightly raffles pay our mortgage and provide the funds to maintain and improve the facility. We’re beginning repairs to our roof thanks to your willingness to take a chance.
