The Clearfield Arts Studio Theatre, Inc. (CAST) is pleased to present The White Liars and Black Comedy October 19-21 and 26-28 at 7:30pm.
Two clever one-act plays share the stage for an evening of outrageous farce and hilarity by acclaimed playwright Peter Shaffer.
The White Liars depicts a fateful encounter between a down and out fortune teller, a rock musician, and his agent. The agent bribes Baroness Lemberg to fake some hocus pocus over a crystal ball, presumably to discourage the musician from pursuing his girlfriend. The trickery entangles each of them in a dense web of deception.In Black Comedy, a blackout occurs on the night a young sculptor plans to meet his debutante's millionaire father and a wealthy patron. Unexpected guests, aging spinsters, errant phone cords, and other snares impede his frantic attempts to return the “borrowed” tems before light is restored.
Together, these one-acts are a sharply etched study of characters steeped in deception.
This production is directed by Dawn Deppe and Scott Muirhead.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.ClearfieldArts.org, at the CAST office on Mondays 10:30-11:30 and Wednesdays 4:30-5:30, or at the box office 30 minutes before each performance.
