One Act Wonders

Tennessee Williams can compress hours of drama into a very short time. His ability (and this is his claim to fame) to present a character, a real character, whole and complete without preamble or preface is phenomenal.

When you come to our presentation of two of his one act plays, you’ll see.

October 25th, 26th, & 27th we are presenting not two, but three one acts. Two from the deservedly revered Tennessee Williams and one from the equally worthy James Thurber for a lighter touch (you’ll laugh).

We’ll be at 2705 W Highway 50, right next to Price Chopper here in Emporia. Come spend the evening with us, you’ll be glad you did.

Coming up Thursday October 25th through Saturday the 27th we have two from Tennessee Williams and one from James Thurber.

The Lady of Larkspur Lotion and Something Unspoken are the two Tennessee Williams plays that quickly immerse you in a world surely different from your own. James Thurber brings you laughter with Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife a classic comic short play.

150 Years of Americus Kansas

Thanks to the wonderful folks in Americus and all that attended their annual celebration of their town’s founding. They really know how to throw a party. They should, they’ve been practicing for 150 years.

The Great Seat Robbery, the melodramatic and slightly less than completely historical account of how Lyon County Kansas came to be, penned by Scott Rochat was well received. We had a great time producing the show and it showed.

We’ll see what we can do for the 151st.

The Great Seat Robbery at Americus Days

Categories: News.

Americus is celebrating their 150th anniversary on Saturday October 6th! It will be a full day of fun, activities, and entertainment for the whole family.

We’ll be there with the locals performing The Great Seat Robbery, a melodrama penned by Scott Rochat recounting the sad and sordid story of the relocation of the Lyon County Seat from Americus to Emporia. It’s a somewhat mostly historically accurate tale of covetousness, jealousy, greed, graft, heroism, and villainy.

You know, all of the fun stuff.
