“The Philadelphia Story”
February 5 – February 20, 2016
Play by Philip Barry
Directed by Christopher Overly
Produced by Jane Wingard
2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse
This Broadway hit tells the story of Philadelphia’s wealthy Lord family as they get ready for the wedding of Tracy Lord, a headstrong and spoiled daughter of the privileged. A merry mix up of who’s who at the house is just the beginning as reports try to get the story and the bride tries to find her way to a normal life. The audience gets to find out who she eventually walks down the aisle with! Katherine Hepburn starred in both the Broadway plan and its film adaptation, and in 1956 it was adapted into an MGM musical film, High Society, with Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Louis Armstrong.

Murder Plays A Sour Note
It’s New Year’s Eve at The Pitz, the city’s most famous (or is it infamous?) supper club. The usual mix of customers, some noteworthy and some notorious, decorate the tables that surround the crowded dance floor. Everyone in the gregarious group of rarified revelers hoists a glass of champagne and readies their noise makers preparing to celebrate the arrival of the year 1955.
As the clock strikes midnight, Lou Gumbardo and his band, “The Loyal Geraniums,” begin the familiar strains of Auld Lang Syne. The moment has arrived – a new year that promises to continue the post-war boom of the Eisenhower administration.
Suddenly, without warning, the club is in darkness and, amid the rumbling of the assembled guests, three shots ring out. When the lights go on again, it’s deadly obvious that the darkened room provided a killer with the opportunity to put a strategic bullet hole into a surprised victim. Someone had dictated the dastardly demise of an individual whose brief glimpse of the new year proved to be a fatal attraction.
Join us on January 20, 2016!
Auditions for An Act of the Imagination by Bernard Slade
Bowie Community Theatre announces auditions for “An Act of the Imagination” written by Bernard Slade, and directed by Patrick Gorirossi.
Auditions are Tuesday and Wednesday, January 19 and 20, from 7pm-9pm at
Kenhill Center
2614 Kenhill Drive
Bowie, MD 20715
Room 121
Call-backs, if needed, will be on Thursday, January 21 at 7pm. Auditionees will be asked to do cold readings from the script. Please bring any conflicts you have for January through February. The play opens March 4 and runs weekends through March 20.
Synopsis: A masterful suspense tale involving Arthur Putnam, a successful mystery writer whose latest work has strangely turned into a romance – a vivid and adulterous romance. Arthur’s son, second wife and editor marvel at the truthfulness of the work, remarkable since it is inconceivable that he could ever have had such an affair. Enter a woman, who is intent on blackmail and whose story is foolproof and airtight: it appears that Arthur has been trysting away from home. Death stalks: the other woman disappears and evidence incriminates Arthur in her murder. There is a conspiracy to do Arthur in, a conspiracy that entails cunning, deceit and ingenious plotting.
