THE OTHER OTHER WOMAN
a farce in one act
 
 
JOE'S GIRL
a comedy in one act
 
 
 
SHE MARRIED WELL
a farce in one act
 
by JOHN KIRKPATRICK
 
Produced and Directed by WALEED ISSA
 
 
The cast of THE OTHER OTHER WOMAN:
Allison Bibicoff, Samantha Kern, Michael Pratt, Kyle Kelley,
Lisa Tamashiro, Stacy Michelle, Sarah Harris, Dawn Mondie
 
The story of THE OTHER OTHER WOMAN:
When Norman tripped over a vacuum cleaner and threatened his wife with divorce, Agnes's neighbor was sure there was another woman involved. She narrowed the suspects down to two of Agnes's good friends.
 
These two, in order to divert suspicion from themselves, called in a private detective to pose as "the other woman." But before she could arrive, another "other woman" appeared. This proved confusing to all concerned, but when still a third "other woman" showed up-well, things got really complicated.
 
 
The cast of JOE'S GIRL:
Liz Little, Emily Hamman, Linnea Peery, Spring Hill,
Andrew Schark, Laurence Sutton, Nadjah Dabney
 
The story of JOE'S GIRL:
"Do you know Joe's girl? There is one in every town."  In these words, Frank, the story teller, introduces us to a young man who calls on a poor girl for eight years and doesn't marry her. Incensed at the situation, Frank thought he might create a crisis where Joe would have to propose.
 
A rumor started that the plant where Alice worked would move away and Alice would move too. But Joe's reaction was unexpected. It's Joe himself who finishes the story and Joe's girl is now "Frank's girl."
 
 
The cast of SHE MARRIED WELL:
Michael Pratt, Saige Ophelia Spinney, Lindsey Stakoe,
Kyle Kelley, Rita Tarin, Brian Willis
 
The story of SHE MARRIED WELL:
Sallie and Eula had roomed together at school and were bosom enemies. They were always jealous of each other's possessions. And now, twenty-five years later, Eula arrives on a visit, still putting on airs.
 
She has a large, large automobile and a liveried chauffeur. This is too much for Sallie, who promptly acquires a spurious French maid and plays "lady of manor." But the woman hadn't counted on their down-to-earth husbands who got ill off expensive cigars and the fact that the chauffeur was as phony as the maid added the final complication to this hilarious farce.
