A sample of what's in store on June 20th:
My Friend Irma continues to be the most popular request and this evening's episode, The Boss Buys a Racehorse is one of their funniest. Irma's boss, Mr. Clyde is buying a race horse. Irma comments,
"Well, Mr. Clyde wouldn't buy any old animal. He's very particular. Remember what I went through before he hired me?"
Dependable, level-headed Jane Stacy narrated a weekly misadventure of her innocent, bewildered roommate, Irma, a dim-bulb stenographer from Minnesota, both in their mid-twenties, who lived in an apartment rented from their Irish landlady, Mrs. O'Reilly. Irma's boyfriend Al was a deadbeat, barely on the right side of the law, jobless, with many crazy, failed, get-rich-quick schemes. Al planned to marry Irma at some future date so she could support him. Professor Kropotkin, the Russian violinist at the Princess Burlesque theater, lived upstairs and greeted Jane and Irma with remarks like, "My two little bunnies with one being an Easter bunny and the other being Bugs Bunny." The Professor insulted Mrs. O'Reilly, complained about his room and reluctantly became O'Reilly's love interest in an effort to make her forget his back rent. Irma's boss, attorney Mr. Clyde, once fired Irma but had to hire her back because she had such an odd filing system he couldn't find anything. Useless at dictation, Irma mangled whatever Clyde dictated. Asked how long she had been with Clyde, Irma said, "When I first went to work with him he had curly black hair, then it got grey, and now it's snow white. I guess I've been with him about six months."
The second presentation for this evening is Dragnet: The Big No Tooth. Dragnet, most noted as one of early television's first police dramas, created by and starring Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday, Badge number 714, was perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural drama in media history. The series gave millions of audience members a feel for the boredom and drudgery, as well as the danger and heroism, of real-life police work. Dragnet earned praise for improving the public opinion of police officers. In it's short run, It was one of radio's top-rated shows. While "Just the facts, ma'am" has come to be known as Dragnet's catchphrase, it was never actually uttered by Joe Friday; the closest he came were, "All we want are the facts, ma'am" and "All we know are the facts, ma'am".
"Just the facts, ma'am" comes from the Stan Freberg's parody in St. George and the Dragonet.

The Outrageous New Play Festival Series
Summer Theatre Fun Coming June 30th …
Monsoon season is coming and we have some terrific fun in the works.
Picture this: Three Tucson playwrights presenting their unpublished plays for public viewing after several weeks of working with actors and directors to give their words on the page a place of the stage.
Beginning on June 30 and running until July 18, plan to spend time engaging with playwrights, directors and actors as they workshop three new stories on our stage. From Wednesday to Sunday evenings each week, with matinees on Saturdays and Sundays, playwrights will work with minimal sets, lighting, sound effects, props, and costumes to create an intimate environment where their words are the focus and the audience is the judge.
You’ll have the opportunity to see one play or all three and could even achieve that in a single weekend. Tickets will go on sale on June 1st with reduced prices for advanced purchases until June 25th . And, just for fun, you can support your favorite plays in our “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,” fun-draiser to help us develop a seed money for next year’s Play on the Stage program.
Who knows? We might even discover a play this summer to fully mount at the end of our 2010-2011 subscription season. Anything can happen!
