Here Soufflé, Gone Tomorrow

Comedy in Two Acts

Here Soufflé, Gone Tomorrow is a saucy mystery on the set of a live cooking show dripping with drama, delectable desserts, disappearing bodies, lookalikes, laxatives and really bad accents. 

The show calls for eight actors – three women, four men and one flex.  It is a single stage set that can easily be performed in a black box if space constraints are an issue.

The Outsider

Written by Paul Slade Smith

Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for… the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

Blithe Spirit

Written by Noel Coward

Directed by Pamela Thorson

A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles’ shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone’s personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed. She “passes over” and joins Elvira, allowing the two “blithe spirits” to haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
