Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancees, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

Broken Angels will be part of our One Act Showcase.

Carrie Buck was born the daughter of a mentally unstable mother and an estranged father in the early 1900’s. At the age of 3 she was placed into foster care and raised by the Dobbs family of Charlottesville, Virginia. It proved to be an equally cruel life for the child as she was pulled from school at a young age in exchange for a life of servitude in her adoptive new home. At the age of 16 she was raped by a family member, which resulted in an unwanted pregnancy. Carrie’s foster parents were appalled at her shameful condition and took steps to have her sent away to endure her pregnancy. Based on her promiscuous behavior, they argued to the court that the girl was “feeble-minded” and should be sent to a suitable facility. The court agreed and Carrie was whisked away to the Colony for the Epileptic and Feebleminded in Lynchburg, Virginia. Shortly after, Carrie gave birth to a daughter – Vivian. The Court deemed Carrie unfit to raise a child and ordered that the infant should remain with the Dobbs family. The year was 1924; the same year that a new piece of legislation went before the Virginia Assembly, known as the Sterilization Act. This law was designed to strike out at the feebleminded population through mandatory sterilization of all mentally deficient individuals. It was decided that Carrie should be their test case, the one chosen to initiate this new law. However, Carrie was not the feebleminded individual the Commonwealth thought her to be. She easily saw her doom and quickly took measures to appeal their decision.

BROKEN ANGELS follows Carrie’s day in Court. She is represented by Irving Whitehead, a compassionate lawyer, who is more than willing to serve the underdog. Together they face the Colony’s Counsel, Aubrey Strode, who unleashes a daunting line-up of witnesses. Those who testify against Carrie argue on the side of science and health, pointing out that the world would be a better place if the bad genes were eliminated and the good genes were promoted. The end result would be selective breeding on a world-wide scale. Against Whitehead’s advice, Carrie takes the stand in her own defense. It is in her testimony that the truth is uncovered, revealing how flawed the Colony’s argument is and how little regard they have for her basic human rights. Their aim was to eliminate her challenge and push this new law through, no matter the cost. In that they do succeed.

Carrie is sterilized the following year.

Perfect for summer or dinner theatres, this hilarious play pits a father in law against a mother in a comedic succession of squabbles. Jerry Sloan is a successful writer of advertising jingles married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the not so happy Abe Dreyfus, Jerry's curmudgeon of a father in law. Abe is a funny guy to the audience, not to Jerry. The situation is exacerbated when Jerry's mother Mildred loses her house in a fire and needs a place to stay. Abe and Mildred can't stand each other. This play is one hilarious confrontation after another until the heart warming finale in which the oldsters discover that, really, each is not so bad.
