Curses of the Pharoah
The height of the 1920's saw big business, bootlegging, Egyptian artifacts craze, flappers and jazz! This show runs just October every Friday and Saturday. We sold out last year and had a great run!
We pay 3% of the house profits per actor. Rehearsals are based around actors schedules.
Premise: It is a museum gala as the 5th and final piece of an ancient Egyptian artifact has found its way to its brothers but as soon as the pieces have come together they cause the ancient curse to be activated. (One curse involves barbershop singing and another one gets to have ALOT of fun with wordplay.) All the characters get cursed as do some of the guests as well. One of the characters is secretly a cult member charged with protecting the artifact and one is hungry for power for whomever unites and controls the artifact will get their hearts desire.

Also, we have posted a song for everyone to learn. We will be having everyone sight read it (and not so much sight read it if you download and learn it before you come.)
