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.

Jimmy Zoole, who has recently been robbed twice, the second robbery relieving him of the only copy of his first novel, is merely at the beginning of his run of bad luck. He is fired form a play, his cat is on the critical list, and he catches his girlfriend, Kate, packing to leave him. After she’s gone, Jimmy, on the brink of a break down, discovers a burglar hiding under his bed about the rip him off for the third time. Jimmy 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.

The guy at the next table just bit the big one and his cell phone won’t stop ringing.
