NOW PLAYING: Laundry & Bourbon / Lonestar
Lone Star is hilarious study of a pair of Texas "good ole boys" on a Saturday night carouse. Roy cherishes three things above all: his country, his wife, and his 1959 pink Thunderbird. As the evening wears on, the underpinnings of Roy’s world begin to collapse. Despite all, the high good humor of the play never lapses, and all ends as breezily and happily as it began.
Laundry & Bourbon was conceived as a companion piece to precede Lone Star. Here the action centers on the discontent and very funny gossip of three small-town wives whose marriages have turned out to be less than was hoped for.
This show is an adult comedy and is not appropriate for children; no children's pricing is available.
Laundry & Bourbon/Lonestar will run August 6 - 22. Performances are Thursday - Saturday @ 8:00 p.m., Sunday @ 3:30 p.m.
Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, students, & military, and $10 for everyone at all Thursday performances.

Open Auditions for "Rumors"
The Newtowne Players announce open auditions for the upcoming production of Rumors, a comedy by Neil Simon. There are parts for five men and five women of all ages. People interested in helping with the technical and support crew are also welcome. The show runs Sept. 24 through Oct. 10, 2010.
Rumors features four couples who have gathered at the home of a deputy New York City mayor and his wife to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. The party never begins because the host has shot himself in the head (it's only a flesh wound), and his wife is missing. His lawyer's cover-up gets progressively more difficult to sustain as the other guests arrive and nobody can remember who has been told what about whom. Hilarity abounds as the couples get more and more crazed.
Auditions will be held July 6 and 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the lobby of Three Notch Theatre in Lexington Park. Auditions will be readings from the script; no prepared material is necessary. If you cannot make these times but wish to work either onstage or backstage for this production, contact Director Dawn Weber at 240-577-1933.
