Wednesdays and
Fridays
2:00p.m., Tuesdays -

Deadly bagpipes, a
bumbling mayor,
incompetent cops,
the Highland Clan's
Big Mac and the
infamous Highland
Hitman - who, it is
said, always dons a
kilt and plays the
bagpipes before
making a kill - all
converge on a hotel
room where the
city's new
accountant discovers
embezzlement. The
day does not start
off well when two
inexperienced police
officers bumble the
videotape
surveillance and
record more than
they bargained for.
To crack the case
the officers must
overcome their fear
of the dark, guns,
enclosed spaces, and
the opposite sex.
Unnecessary Farce
delivers a huge
laugh with its
raucous comedic
twists and turns.

Disney's Beauty
and the Beast -
This event will take
place Tuesday -
Saturday starting at
8:00p.m., Wednesday
and Friday starting
at 2:00p.m. and
Sundays starting at
3:00p.m., at
Mountain Playhouse.
The classic love
story of Belle, a
kind-hearted but
misunderstood young
woman, and the
Beast, a pompous
prince who has been
turned into an
animal by the spell
of an enchantress.
The only chance the
Beast has of
breaking the spell
is to learn both how
to love and how to
be loved, lessons
for which he turns
to Belle for help.
Based on a
well-known French
fairy tale, Beauty
and the Beast was
released as a film
by Walt Disney
Pictures in 1991,
where its
state-of-the-art
animation and
profoundly relevant
story line made it
popular with
children and adults
alike. The elements
that make Beauty and
the Beast so magical
onscreen translate
beautifully to the
stage, where its
grandeur and scale
promises to thrill
Playhouse
theater-goers.

Saturday starting at
8:00p.m., Wednesday
and Friday starting
at 2:00p.m. and
Sundays starting at
3:00p.m., at

Step back in time to
New York in the
1940s. At the time,
the city was a haven
for eccentric
characters
struggling to make
their mark. One New
York socialite and
aspiring opera
singer, Florence
Foster Jenkins,
became an immensely
popular musical
performer through
the sheer strength
of her personality,
the devoted support
of her adoring
friends, and the
unabashed
self-confidence
about the beauty of
her stupendously
horrendous singing
voice. The play
follows
Foster-Jenkins from
charity recitals and
extravagant balls
all the way to
Carnegie Hall.
