Hammin' It Up

Twelve Angry Pigs by Wade Bradford
The Outlaws of Candy Kitchen by D. M. Bocaz-Larson
Twain's Tales by David Taylor London Directed by Janice Grant
The Suwannee Valley Players announce the upcoming opening of the Summer Youth Production "Hammin' It Up", an evening of comedy entertainment featuring the youth of the Tri-County Area. "Hammin' It Up" is a full evening of one act plays. The first, "Twelve Angry Pigs" written by Wade Bradford is a spoof of the classic "Twelve Angry Men".
Twelve pigs are gathered as the jury for the Big Bad Wolf who is on trial for destruction of property for blowing down the little pigs' houses; but is he guilty? Only the evidence can tell the truth.
The second play is a true audience participation melodrama set in the old west when Billy the Kid was alive and well. Did you know that Billy the Kid was really a woman? Well if you had never heard that story, be sure to be in attendance as the story unfolds as to the true identity of "The Kid". Stay tuned for "Outlaws of Candy Kitchen", boo the villain, cheer the battles, and applaud the heroics of our Texas Ranger under cover and the heroine of the story. "The Outlaws of Candy Kitchen" by D. M. Bocaz-Larson is produced by special arrangement with Freedrama.net.
Complete your evening at the theater with tales from Mark Twain acted out by the cast of "Hammin It Up". Mark Twain was the ultimate story teller and who better to share his tales than the folks of Missouri sittin' on the porch of the Gen'rl Store. "Twain's Tales" by David Taylor London is produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service Inc., Englewood, Colorado. Sit back and watch the young players act out excerpts of such classics as "Tom Sawyer", "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", "The Belated Russian Passport" and others.

The Night We Knocked The Critic Dead

Comedy by L. Don Swartz Directed by Mike Taylor & produced by Janice Grant
Auditions will be held for The Night We Knocked The Critic Dead on Saturday, July 24, at 10am and Tuesday, July 27, at 7pm. Mickey Chigger, a nasty newspaper critic, turns up dead at the Chestnut Hollow Little Theatre's final dress rehearsal of their latest play. The actors, desperate for a box office success, will go to any lengths to avoid a scandal. And that means - yes! - moving the critic's body from the rest room where he died to the parking lot. That way the late Mr. Chigger will keep his dignity, even though he doesn't really deserve it, but even more importantly, the theatre won't get bad press. Can't you see the headlines? asks one. "The play was so bad it killed him!" But just when they think they might squeak by, a detective arrives on the scene to declare that Chiggers has been murdered! To add to their troubles, Editor Blather of the local paper insists that the Little Theatre host a memorial service for the late critic, a decision she soon regrets with the ever-wailing widow and inappropriate bathroom sound effects blaring from the sound booth. Does the critic's laptop computer with his final review hold the clue to the identity of the murderer? And what in the detective's mysterious past makes him seem so familiar? Here's a spoof just for (and about) community theatres that will knock'em dead with laughter. This play is presented by special arrangements with Eldridge Publishing Company. If you have any questions or want to be involved, inquire with the director Mike Taylor at 352-949-6929 or mikelandi@yahoo.com.
