Who's In Bed With The Butler? |
 A California billionaire has bequeathed all of his assets to his only daughter Constance - except the 22-million-dollar yacht he wanted Josephine to have, a 25 million-dollar art collection left to Rene and some priceless antique automobiles willed to Marjorie. Constance arrives at her father's mansion with her lawyer, determined to find out who these women are and to buy them off or contest the will. The butler seems to hold the key and she learns from him that the three sultry ladies were her father's lovers. She also discovers that the yacht, the art and the cars have vanished, all having been sold to The Bimbo Corporation. Could the butler be behind the shenanigans - and is he carrying on with all of the ladies in question? Does the elderly, deaf housekeeper really have a pet rat? Can the bumbling detective hired by Constance really be so inept, linguistically as well as professionally? And why has the butler hired an actress to play his wife? Hilarity erupts long before the audience realizes that the temptresses are all being played by the same actress! This is a madcap addition to the author's string of inventive American farces.

Riverfront Playhouse Capital Campaign Committee Presents
“Theatre Under the Stars”
O N E N I G H T O N L Y
July 11, 2009
Turtle Bay Amphitheatre 
The Hollywood Bowl comes to Redding as the Riverfront Playhouse Capital Campaign Committee presents “Theatre Under the Stars” at the Turtle Bay Amphitheatre on Saturday, July 11. Proceeds from the event benefit the Riverfront Playhouse Capital Campaign building project for the state of the art community theatre currently being planned on the corner of Placer and Pine Streets in Downtown Redding. This exclusive one-night-only event features the Pulitzer Prize nominated play Love Letters by A. R. Gurney. The play centers on the characters Melissa and Andrew, outlining fifty years of love and heartache through letters written to each other, and proves that sometimes memories of roads not taken are the deepest, sweetest ones of all. Love Letters stars veteran stage actress Kim Basial, a two-time ARPEE Award winner for Best Actress in a Lead Role. The play also stars Wade Riggs, whose critically acclaimed performance as George in Same Time, Next Year at Riverfront Playhouse earlier this year played to sold-out audiences.
