he setting is two adjoining rooms in an economy motel. It is early morning. Two inexperienced police officers, Eric Sheridan and Billie Dwyer, have been sent to videotape a meeting between the local Mayor and the town’s accountant, with the aim of uncovering an embezzlement scheme. But the day is not starting off well. The Mayor is accompanied by Agent Frank – the head of Town Hall security – an impressively nervous man who warns the officers that anyone who dares to try to find the missing money will incur the wrath of a local mafia called the Scottish Clan. Agent Frank speaks with particular fear of a man named Todd – “the Highland hit man” – a formidable villain, who always dons a kilt and plays the bagpipes before making a kill. Will the embezzled money be recovered? Can Billie be saved before Todd plays the bagpipes? Will Eric and Karen get to have sex? And can the cops manage to capture the crooks without resorting to… Unnecessary Farce?

Tickets $5 each or $25 family/carload, pay at gate.

“Taking Medication Safely,” will be presented by St. Peter’s Outpatient Pharmacist Brian Heeney.

Book by John Caird Music by Stephen Schwartz Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Based on a concept by Charles Lisanby From Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell” and “Pippin”) and John Caird of “Les Miserables” comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith… not to mention centuries of unresolved family business! Freely based on the story of Genesis, “Children Of Eden” is a frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. Adam, Eve, Noah and the “Father” who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that “the hardest part of love… is letting go.”
