Play On! Written by Rick Abbott and directed by Jacob Menke, is a 1980’s farce about a small-time theater company trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from an intrusive playwright who keeps revising the script. Act 1 is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act 2 is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and Act 3 is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does.
Play On! Has a cast of 10. The characters are:
Aggie Manville: A stage manager and prompter
Gerry Dunbar: A community theatre director
Henry Benish (Lord Dudley): A character actor
Polly Benish (Lady Margaret): A character actress
Smitty Smith (Doris the Maid): A supporting player
Saul Watson (Doctor Rex Forbes): A villain
Billy Carewe (Stephen Sellers): A juvenile
Violet Imbry (Diana Lassiter): An ingenue
Louise Peary: A sound/lighting/scenic technician
Phyllis Montague: A novice playwright in the community
