Acts and Contrition

It's a Baker's Play. Find it at http://www.bakersplays.com/

Drama. Jim Moore. 5m, 3f. An Irish-Catholic priest returns to the parish of his youth to come to a decision about his faith and ministry. Does he still have faith in God? Should he continue as a priest if he is doubting? To come to his decision, he must also come to issue with his feelings for his old flame, a terrific woman who is still in love with him. His estranged father, an old, Irish-Catholic bartender with a unique perspective on life, becomes a valued counselor. This is a genuine look at real people struggling with their faith. Excellent roles for all.

Royalty $40-$40 / $5.25

(Code# 1004-B)

We did this one a season or so ago -- I played Katy, the mother. It's an excellent piece, with both drama and laughs, but one word of caution -- do NOT invite the playwright to see the show! We were the second theater to do the play, the first being his own home community theater, so he wrote to us when he learned we were doing it. Turns out he lives in NJ, just a couple of hours away from us here in Dover, DE, so we invited him to come see the show. The night he was there, we had a terrible thunderstorm, and during one scene, the theater actually took a very close hit from a lightening bolt. I was in our green room when it happened and saw saw sparks and smoke dance off a light fixture, and an old clock on the wall that hadn't worked in years suddenly lit up and set its second hand spinning. Onstage, lightening shot across the front electrical bar and took out all the lights hung from it. We had to finish the show with half the stage in darkness -- we used our work lights for the scenes that took place on the dark half. Afterwards, the playwright told us that when they did the show in Ireland (their cast took it to The Fringe), the same thing happened during a performance there! Ended up having to replace the dimmer packs, lighting board, sound system and amplifier -- they were all fried! As with Macbeth, which is never referred to by name in a theater if it's not actually in production becasue of the bad luck it will bring, we call this "The Catholic Show." Don't let this put you off, though -- it's an absolutely wonderful play. Just don't invite Jim Moore (who's really a helluva guy, BTW!)
