Description: Eliza’s dairy farm is under siege: by Caroline, the documentary film-making, grudge-holding heifer she allows into her house to bear witness, for a fee; by Harriet, her inheritance-deprived sister; and by the bacteria lurking in the raw milk lying in wait for daughter Jamie. Woe descends on Red Robin Farm.

About the playwright: Amy Bernstein’s short comedies and dramas have been read and produced in New York City; Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Lexington, KY and elsewhere. She has twice been selected for readings at the Baltimore Playwrights Festival and was chosen to participate in intensive playwright workshops at the 2011 Association of Theaters for Higher Education (ATHE) Conference and at the Inkwell Theater in D.C. in 2012.

Are You My Mummy?

A reception in Exhibit Hall of the University of Great Bridge has been held to honor and celebrate Doctor Harley Diggs’ discovery of the Mystery Mummy, which sports the Star of Egypt Diamond in a rare headpiece. Dr. Diggs unearthed the Mystery Mummy six months ago.

At 11:30 at night, the power goes out! The beam of a flashlight shines in the darkness, illuminating Dr. Diggs, now lying dead on the floor – an ancient Abyssinian dagger in his back! Once the lights are back on, another discovery is unearthed – the disappearance of the Star of Egypt Diamond, missing from the headpiece worn by the Mystery Mummy – a diamond worth twelve million dollars!

The old saying goes “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” What unfortunate bad advice for the now-dead Dr. Diggs. For Dr. Diggs shared the head table this evening with other noted archaeologists and guests – all of whom were his enemies!

The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson’s six-time, TONY Award winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation!!
