Jefferson Community Players present April Antics
On April 11th and 12th at 8pm, the Jefferson Community Players will be presenting "April Antics: Four One-Act Plays," at 54 Schoolhouse Road. These one drama and three comedies will be performed: "Murder Play", "Hear Today", "He's Having a Baby" and "Juris Prudence." Admission is by donation at the door.
Murder Play: Two young guests at a dinner party awaken on a Sunday morning, still in the home of their hosts. They are shocked to discover that the host is dead, the hostess is the murderer and they are accomplices to the crime. Will they help the killer dispose of the boyd or tell the police? Directed by Loud Cerny.
Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow: A southern Colonel and his teenage grandson are the troublesome neighbors of a lady whose daughter is tormented daily by the grandson's pranks. The lady returns the favor by making a report to social services to have the young man removed from the grandfathers care. Will the social worker's visit cause permanent changes for the Colonel and his grandson? Directed by Leanne Kolvik
He's Having a Baby: Before our current custom of inviting fathers to attend the births of their children, there was the hospital waiting groom, where for hours on end, they would wait for the happy news. The play imagines what would happen if men had the babies and the women did the waiting. Follow three women as they wait for the news of their blessed events.
Juris Prudence: Moments before the trial begins, a lawyer confers with his client, Prudence, the plaintiff in a multi-million dollar lawsuit for the injuries she suffered when a tornado struck her bathtub shower. With supporting testimony from Sun Downe, the local weather girl and a homeless man hired to impersonate Prudence's spouse, they have what they believe is a winning suit. Directed by Thom Florio.
