Flamingo Court is a rich soufflé of clever, witty dialogue.
This three part play follows the nosy residents of a
South Florida condo community. Each condo reveals a
new story about life at any age. Two parts are funny,
one is serious. Love Finds a Way, Doing Right is Rarely
Easy and Greed Gets Its Just Desserts.

The Government Inspector
Nov. 19-20, Dec. 3-4, 10-11
8:15pm
Dec. 5
2:15pm
This classic 19th century Russian comedy
has been ―Neil Simonized‖ by Jeffrey
Hatcher with 21st century American humor. When
village officials receive word that the Czar has dispatched
a secret government inspector to their town,
these comically corrupt bureaucrats scramble to cover
their assets. The recently fired, opportunistic clerk they
think is the inspector is only too willing to go along for
the ride. Written in the 1830’s, this farce proves that
laughing at government ineptitude is timeless.

sets out to avenge himself and all of us for the perverse breaks
in life. He knocks the burglar out, ties him to the kitchen sink
and keeps him prisoner over New Year’s. What happens when
he does this is the upbeat story—by turns hilarious, shocking
and moving—as these two disparate characters develop a most
unusual friendship, interrupted by the return of Kate with her
new boyfriend and later on by a trio of merrymakers who turn
out to have more on their minds than just making merry. A
darkly hued comedy, it deals with surviving and opening oneself
up to friendship and new experiences.
