The Gaslight Theatre Company Presents “Incorruptible”

The Gaslight Theatre Company presents Michael Hollinger’s dark comedy Incorruptible for the next two weekends.

With all their miracles gone, things are looking really hopeless for the monks of Priseaux, France. It is 1250 A.D., but the Dark Ages are way too dark for these hapless brothers. The wheelbarrow is a mere fantasy. The candle shop went up in flames. The river flooded - again. And that’s only the beginning! Saint Foy, the monastery’s patron saint, hasn’t worked a miracle in 13 years. As a result, both locals and pilgrims have stopped visiting the monastery and paying to view the saint’s remains, leaving the brothers flat broke. Their last hope is that a visit from the Pope will bring a parade of the faithful, cash in hand. But when a rival church steals their thunder by claiming to have the relics of Saint Foy, which are indeed working miracles, the monks are about to give up until a shady one-eyed minstrel shows them the way to salvation.

Gaslight’s Incorruptible will be performed on January 4,5,6 and 11,12,13 at the King’s College Theatre. All shows
are at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $7. To reserve tickets or for more information please call 570-824-8266. Or visit

Actors Circle Presents “Lovers and Other Strangers”

It’s an evening of five bright short plays about the battle of the sexes.

It’s humor and penetrating honesty and insight into that always curious relationship between men and women.

If you don’t see yourself in at least one of these pieces you’ve never been engaged or married or divorced; you’ve never found your affections straying; you haven’t lived with a woman (or man) through turbulent times when America was babbling about a redefinition of gender roles; you’ve never been pressed by your parents to live your life as they did.  [Read more]

Open Casting Call for the Comedy “It’s Only a Play”, by Terrence McNally

The Applause Theatre, 409 Main Street in Duryea, is pleased to announce an open casting call for their upcoming production of It’s Only a Play by Terrence McNally.  Director Paige Balitski is looking to fill 8 roles - 5 men and 3 women between the ages of 30 and 50.

About the Show

It’s opening night of “The Golden Egg” on Broadway, and the wealthy producer (Julia) is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs where a group of insiders have staked themselves out in the producer’s bedroom, waiting for the reviews to come in.  Included are the excitable young author; the brilliant but unstable director; the pill-popping leading lady; the playwright’s best friend; a hypocritical drama critic; a would-be singer working as a part-time servant and a hard-boiled taxi driver who has seen it all before.

The performance dates are March 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 2007.  For more information, email diva@intergrafix.net.
