"A Bad Year For Tomatoes"  September 9 - September 25, 2011


Fed up with the pressures and demands of her television acting career, Myra Marlowe decides to chuck the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and head East to the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven, Vermont - much to the dismay of her longtime Hollywood agent and good friend, Tom Lamont. 

Once settled in, Myra decides to embark on fulfilling two lifelong dreams:  to write her autobiography & to grow the perfect tomato.  But, alas, her aspirations are short-lived as she is subjected to two bothersome eccentric nosy neighbors, a crazy would-be witch with homicidal tendencies; and, last but not least, a Neanderthal backwoodsman. 

Follow along as Myra attempts to thwart her newfound friends' "neighborly" advances by creating her own zany diversions.  Will Myra write her memoir?  Will she grow that perfect tomato?  For the answers to these and many other questions, join us this coming September for this uproariously funny comedy/farce, “A Bad Year for Tomatoes!"
