A wealthy widow, Marcy Malliger, is expecting her beau for dinner, which means she expects nothing less than perfection from her household staff. Her disgusting son Gerald, who is 25 years old but still lives with his "mommy," is flirting with the maids, as usual.

Sarah, a recently hired maid, does her best to ignore his overtures so as not to lose her job. That’s when her brother James shows up, looking for a place to hide. He's on the run from a loan shark who wants his money back, but wouldn’t you know, Ms. Malliger’s beau who comes for dinner is the loan shark?!

Bring in the cops, who think James is Gerald (and vice versa!), and the loan shark’s dim-witted daughter and you’ve got all the ingredients for fantastic farce in just one hour!

What would have happened if Dorothy didn't follow the yellow brick road? Eddie McPherson takes our favorite story on a delightful detour when Dorothy is sidetracked by a farmer offering an alternate route to the wizard’s front door.

Glinda the Good is furious. After all, she wants to be a storybook hero. Meanwhile, the Wicked Witch of the West is thrilled with the alternative route, which will rewrite the story and possibly save her from her watery fate. As the Wicked Witch of the West fights against Glinda’s dreams of fame, Dorothy discovers that the shortcut doesn’t even take her to the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Cameo appearances by Hansel and Gretel, Jack and Jill, a Munchkin TV reporter and more add to the hilarity of this clever parody that’s fun for all ages.

Two bumbling jewel thieves are on the run from the cops when they duck into Chez Monyeu, a restaurant so bad the mice are their only repeat customers. And that’s just the start of their problems. Not only has Chez Monyeu’s chef just quit, but the city’s most powerful restaurant critic is about to arrive.

In desperation, the restaurant’s owner, mistaking the thieves for famous French chefs, insist that they make their renowned Million Dollar Meatballs for the tough-minded critic. Insanity ensues as the pair try to keep up the ruse while hunting for the seven priceless diamonds they lost.

Will the thieves get away with their crime? Where could the diamonds have gone? And why are the meatballs so crunchy? Find out in this deliciously funny farce!
This event will be a stage reading

A reunion weekend for estranged sisters Connie and Regan takes a mysterious turn when they find the host of Hickory Dickory Inn murdered! With a snowstorm raging outside and the phone line deliberately cut, it appears the killer is among those at the inn. Could it be the victim’s surprisingly unsentimental sister, Essie? Or maybe it’s Clark or Keeky Curtis, a pair of lovebirds who have to be hiding something under that sticky-sweet façade. What’s the story behind debonair Englishman Edgar Hill, who’s a real fish out of water? And isn’t it curious that the best-selling author of horror stories, Nigel Grimm, in reality is afraid of everything? Does Sarah Dane, a lonely young woman who has an edge of anger, hold a strong enough passion, perhaps, to kill? The sisters can’t even overlook each other... Perhaps the victim himself will point a ghostly finger at the real killer!

It’s Christmas Eve — the busiest shopping day at Carrington’s Department Store. Holly, Carrington’s newest clerk, and several other customers are greeted by a kindly bell ringer who seems to have an uncanny ability to make their deepest Christmas wishes come true. Among the customers; A young family that arrives for last-minute shopping and learns a lesson about connecting with their son... A trio of sisters that snags the last RC car for their nephew and leave less burdened than when they arrived... A cynical, wealthy man that learns about true love from a destitute girl who sacrifices her own well-being for her family. Meanwhile, three inept criminals are making plans to rob the store. In their bungled attempt to crack the safe, the robbers take Holly and a customer, Barry, as hostages. A surprising last minute wish saves the hostages and brings the criminals to justice.
