"Acting Rich"
2 years ago
South Baldwin Community Theatre puts on a children's production every summer. Throughout the 7 years leading to my college education I participated in these productions as well as the theatre's regular season as a technical director and board member. I still try to support the children's program as often as I possibly can.
To catch you up on whats happening at this point in the play a well-to-do couple, the Cummings, have left their home for a week in Paris to celebrate the wife's birthday. Once gone various figures in their life opt to take advantage of their absence for various reasons. Two aspiring actors stage as a butler and maid to enjoy the facilities of the estate. The husband's mistress stops by to retrieve a sweater that she has left which would put their affair at risk. A doctor, who is having an affair with the wife, stops by to check up on things. A thief tries his luck with the abandon house. The daughter and her finance show up to "get away from things". Meanwhile the only character who is suppose to be in the home, the cook, is trying to keep things in order. All of the characters show up at the same time and in an effort to hide their true purposes take on various aliases. The first clip is of Jimmy, the thief. He has just had an accident while trying to break into the safe which knocked him out. When he awakes he believes he has gone to heaven. The second clip is from the final scene when the Cummings return to their home after missing their flight. But don't worry, there is a twist at the end of the story which I will not spoil.
