The curtain continues to rise inside Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre.
The Powerhouse Theatrical Society is returning to the stage with full houses, and up on the bill next is Self Help by Norm Foster, directed by Adele Kuyek.
The society is putting out a casting call for Self Help. Play reading will be held at the theatre on Tuesday, Dec. 28, followed by auditions Wednesday, Dec. 29, and call backs will be conducted Thursday, Dec. 30.
Rehearsals start Jan. 2. The play will run Feb. 24-27 and March 2-5.
So there’s a stiff in the study. A reporter’s looking for dirt in the hall. A detective is looking for a missing gardener. The maid is in major need of self help. A smart-mouthed agent is suspicious that something is amiss. Self-help gurus Cindy and Hal Savage’s perfect life has fallen apart.
What do do?
Hide the body.
