The local community-theater troupe, the BUM Players, is currently in production of their annual dessert-theater comedy. As always, this play will be performed in the Brockport United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, with performances being April 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. each night. And, of course, delicious donated desserts and beverages will be available during intermission and included in the cost of the tickets.
The BUM Players are extremely excited about this upcoming show, since it will be a true World Premiere showing of the second full-length comedy script in a row written by BUM Players founder Gary “Turk” Thomas, following up last year’s highly-successful “Tavern.”
Entitled “Witches Ball,” the play marks a highly-anticipated debut of Natalie Mesler in the role of Sybil Clark, a precocious, spritely “witch-in-training” vainly trying to control magical powers beginning to manifest themselves. Such attempts lead to a variety of hi-jinx and several plot twists. Natalie has proved to be a true gem-in-the-rough and is definitely capable of “stealing the show,” according to a press release. Rounding out the cast are BUM Players veterans Chuck Edwards (Sheriff Archie Dalton), Steve Richardson (Drew Powers), Paul Kimball (Forest Ranger Bob Paxton), Turk Thomas (Boyd Clark), Marita Keys (Witch Roxanne Taylor), and Bonnie Beiswenger (Witch Rosalynd Taylor). We are excited that Paul and Bonnie are returning to our stage after many years. And Paul inclusion makes this a family-affair as the grandfather of Natalie, making this an even more special production!
The play will be directed by playwright Turk Thomas, with Mack McCarthy in a now-familiar role as Assistant Director. Serving as Co-Technical Directors are Thomas and Richardson. Jessica and Eric Sandler will serve as the Co-Dessert Coordinators.
Tickets are available in the Church Office 9 a.m. to noon, Monday through Thursday, or at the door the nights of the show. Tickets may also be reserved by phoning the Church Office at 637-4240 or by calling 261-7381. Always a good value, ticket costs $9 General Admission; $7 Seniors (age 65+); and $20 per one-family household. For a wonderful night of laughter and fun, don’t miss this show.
