The Cottage

**Combined Event Description:**

Join us for a night of hilarity with two uproarious productions that promise to keep you on the edge of your seat—**The Cottage** and **Farce of Habit**.

In **The Cottage**, written by Sandy Rustin, we follow Sylvia and Beau during their yearly escapade in an English countryside cottage, where their hopes for a shared future collide with the unexpected arrival of their spouses. As Sylvia confronts the complications of love, loyalty, and identity, she decides to unveil her affair, leading to a riotous unraveling of secrets and a thought-provoking exploration of fate and marriage. With influences from Noël Coward’s classic comedies, this play blends laughter, physical comedy, and a feminist twist, resulting in a delightful journey toward self-discovery and love. Performances are scheduled for February 26, 27, and March 5, 6 at 8:00 PM, along with a matinee on March 7 at 2:30 PM. Auditions will take place on January 9 & 10 at 3:00 PM.

Meanwhile, **Farce of Habit** by Jones Hope Wooten transports audiences to the bustling “Reel ’Em Inn” in the Ozarks, where proprietor D. Gene Wilburn’s plans for a peaceful fishing weekend are anything but. Between his caffeine-addicted wife, a son grappling with marriage woes, and a bizarre family undercover assignment, chaos reigns supreme. The inn is also overrun by nuns seeking a nature retreat and a self-absorbed relationship guru, all while a storm brews and a lurking axe murderer adds to the pandemonium. Comedy erupts from the ridiculous scenarios that unfold, making D. Gene’s peaceful escape utterly unattainable. Catch this laugh-out-loud farce on April 16, 17, 23, 24 at 8:00 PM, and April 25 at 2:30 PM, with auditions on February 27 & 28 at 3:00 PM.

Don’t miss these two performances that promise to deliver laughter, surprises, and a unique take on love and life!
