Back by popular demand, a new play by Steven A. Butler Jr. Bowie, MD – September 24, 2014: Following rave reviews and sold out performances this summer, Restoration Stage is proud to present Chocolate Covered Ants; back by popular demand. Dr. Adrienne Taylor returns for another intense round of therapy and exploration. For the last three years, the professor of mental health at Farrington Women’s College has dedicated herself to researching the plight of the African-American woman. Chocolate Covered Ants chronicles the final leg of her study, an in-depth look at the African-American male and the hypothetical effects he may contribute to mental, social, and physical survival of the African-American female. As Dr. Adrienne Taylor journeys through the mind of the African-American man her study takes an unexpected turn. The joys, pains, truths, and lies she encounters promise to not only affect her patients, but Dr. Taylor herself. Chocolate Covered Ants is a carefully crafted story that speaks to the complexities of us all. As previous audiences have noted, this is a show not to be missed. Presented by Restoration Stage, Chocolate Covered Ants is written by Steven A. Butler Jr. (The Truth) and is directed by Courtney Baker-Oliver (All That Glitters).

The Disappearance of Death

Last night, The Great Radinski, world-renowned magician and entertainer to royalty, returned to his home on Mystic Lake to perform before a Halloween costume party of friends, relatives and admirers at the nearby Mystic Inn. As he amazed the crowd with incredible illusions and magic tricks that defied explanation, he suddenly looked at his pocket watch and realized he was late for an important “appointment.” He disappeared in a cloud of smoke as individuals in the crowd looked at each other in disbelief.

Fifteen minutes later, a muffled explosion was heard and police arrived to inform everyone that Radinski was dead. His body was found along the shore of the lake. He had been killed by an explosive device. Only through careful questioning and expert sleuthing would motive and murderer emerge.

A little over a week ago, The Great Radinski had returned home from a triumphant tour of Asia and Europe where he had appeared before packed houses in major cities. European newspapers reported that, in Prague and Budapest, the magician had received death threats in the form of letters that were sent to his dressing rooms. Both letters are in the hands of European authorities, undergoing analysis.

Radinski’s fame was assured in 1993 when, live on a BBC broadcast, he made London’s Tower Bridge and St. Paul Cathedral disappear, then reappear ten minutes later. It is considered by many to be the greatest illusion ever performed. For years, it had been rumored that Radinski stole the trick from another magician. Those allegations have never been proven.

Born in Poland as Igor Radinski, he had emigrated with his parents to Mystic Lake. It’s said that he also had psychic powers and may have left documents that would help pinpoint the name of the culprit who committed the murder.
