As in every farce, there are wild and unusual happenings, mistaken identity, frenzied confrontations, ridiculous disguises, and secrets exposed as the family deals with a Witness Protection snitch, a cop dressed as a maid, a discontented wife and outrageous unexpected guests. “This play is a laugh riot, and we can't wait to bring it to you," says Director Paul Ansell. “We have a terrific cast that will keep you laughing from beginning to end as they introduce you to a long-suffering wife, a scatterbrained policewoman, mobsters, a struggling actor, a ruthless businessperson … and even a visit from some unwelcome wildlife.” The assistant director is Michele Whelan, and Laurie Failing is the stage manager. The part of Wannelle is played by Carol MacAlister; D. Gene Wilburn by Wayne Keyes; Jenna by Diane Keyes; Maxie by Nina Rago; Carmine by Guy Bailey; Ty by Bob Horvath; Lola by Alesia Bischoff; Sonny by Ron Banaszak; and Roxanne by Michelle Horvath.
