THE VALLEY REPERTORY
COMPANY
announces
Lily Adams, a sophisticated,
lovely dress designer from New York, is brought to her new husband's
Connecticut farmhouse to live. She and Sam Adams arrive at night, during a
storm. She loves the place until a head rolls down the stairs. The head proves
to be merely a bowling ball; it seems they are not alone. Sam's uncle and his ex mother-in-law are still
in residence. A little
weird. Lily puts up with bowling
balls, wraiths dancing through the room and strange opinions. Ethan Allen, a man who lives under a bridge,
stays the night. He is murdered. The village constable conducts a farcical
investigation. Ethan Allen returns, not dead at all, but suffering from a
disease that all but eliminates his pulse. And Lily begins life again with the
Adams family.
Roles available for 4 men, 3 women
