Murder At The

Howard Johnson's

By Ron Clark & Sam Bobrick

 

February 21st through March 16th

on the Mainstage

 

Is all fair in love? Even murder? That's the question posed by this light and funny suspense comedy about a love triangle in a Howard Johnson Motor Inn. In the first scene, the wife and her lover plot to murder the husband. In the second scene, the wife and her husband are plotting to murder the lover. The third scene has the husband and the lover plotting to murder the wife. A comedy of errors, missteps, and total pandemonium ensues as this trio finds all the wrong ways to fall in love, get revenge, and try to live happily ever after.

 

"Enough laugh lines, mirth provoking situations and extravagant sight gags to outfit two rapid fire farces of the absurd." -Variety

 

"Funny is funny." - TIME Magazine

 

Murder at The Howard Johnson's runs February 21st through March 16th, 2025. Showings Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm. Directed by Leslie J. Miller and starring Jodi Ajanovic, Stephen Frankenfield, and Steve McKee. Sundays at 3:00 pm. Tickets start at $25.00. For tickets and more information go to livetheatreworkshop.org/tickets.

Deputy Jan

Play, Music & Lyrics by Richard Gremel

Music by David Ragland

 

Playing through February 16th!

 

"Deputy Jan is a rootin' tootin' heap of fun!" -Taming of The Review

 

Our story takes place in the Old West, a time when cattle roamed free, cowboys walked the streets, and outlaws lurked in every corner. There's nothing to fear when you have Deputy Jan...right? Unfortunately, Deputy Jan is a coward and always lets the outlaws get away. But when the Sheriff tells him he needs to catch the next outlaws, or else, it's up to Jan to save the day. He sets out to take on the most notorious outlaws in the West, Hombre and Millie Nair, who have just stolen the secret family root beer recipe from the Rootin' Tootin' Root Beer Saloon. Will Jan find his courage and save the day, or will Hombre and Millie Nair get their big heist? Find out while the hilarious action unfolds.

 

Deputy Jan by Richard Gremel runs January 31st through February 16th in the Children's Theatre. Directed by Stephen Frankenfield and starring Nate Wiley, Rowan Sandeen, Emery McLane, Carlisle Ellis, Matthew Frankenfield, Zuleyl Castro, and Eddie Rodriguez.
