Bad Year For Tomatoes
Fed up with the pressures and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven, and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her long-time agent, but dealing with her nosy, omnipresent neighbours is a different matter. In an attempt to shoo them away, and gain some privacy, Myra invents a mad homicidal sister - who is kept locked in an upstairs room, but who occasionally escapes long enough to scare off uninvited visitors The ruse works well, at first, but complications result. Myra announces that her imaginary sibling has suddenly gone off to Boston – which brings on the sheriff, and the suspicion of murder! The uproarious doings will keep audiences laughing right up to the final curtain, and then some!"
Cast members for Bad Year For Tomatoes include Lisa Mounteer, Mark Baker, Kelly Tessier, Jay Tessier, Marnie Gare, Ashley Meyer, and James Neely. The show will run Sept 9, 10, 11, 12 + 16, 17, 18, 19. at Theatre Windsor (Upstairs at the Market Square) 2109 Ottawa Street Windsor, ON.
