Dear
Members and Friends:
Welcome
to our third revival
of "Shhh! Don't
Wake the Corpse".
Mickey Sullivan has
been raving about this
show to me since I joined
the group in 2001. Written
by Betty Kash and co-directed
with Denise Higgins-Regan,
it was first produced
by NCT in May 1992.
Because it was such
a hit, it was revived
in February 1998, when
Betty Kash went solo.
I'm
happy to report that
Betty and Denise have
teamed up once again
to co-direct this Bay
Ridge hit, and, with
a stroke of genius,
attract some surprise
guests who will sure
and make an audience
laugh.
This
musical-comedy captures
the spirit and culture
of the people in a small
town in Ireland attending
a "ceili"
given by Michael Francis
Aloysious Finbar Brown.
I'm
very proud to be part
of this amazing cast
and crew and happier
still to partake in
such a screwball, happy
snapshot of real-life
characters you might
find in any Irish pub,
in any town in Ireland.
I
have to admit that I
became a little bit
of an Irish lass meself
during this show. Why,
who knew I would be
baking Irish Soda Bread
before the end of this
production? And running
out and buying "The
Quiet Man"? Sit
back, relax and be transported
to the smallest town
in Ireland and enjoy
the ceili.

Synopsis
Takes
place in a mythical town
in Ireland where, Michael
Francis Aloysius Finbar
Brown (Proprietor of the
town pub), receives word
that he has come into
a grand and glorious Legacy
from a dearly departed
cousin in America. Mickey
has a big announcement
for the townsfolk ...
he plans to share his
inheritance with the entire
town!!
Whew!!
Take a deep breath, sit
back and hold onto your
chair as mayhem erupts
on stage ... Mickey is
overcome with emotion,
and ... well now, we don't
want to tell you too much
and spoil the fun, do
we?!! |
