Who’s On First?
By Jack Sharkey
Take a husband, wife, lover and friend, add a strange lamp, a gun and a rubber chicken plus a party that begins at 8 p.m., then again at 8 p.m. and then again at 8 p.m. and you have this nightmare comedy. Four people find themselves reliving one horrible hour over and over as themselves, as Japanese, as British aristocrats, as gangsters, and almost anything else you can think of. Camille is giving the party. Don shows up in a jealous funk about his wife, Alice, whom he suspects of seeing another man. When Alice and Ben have arrived, it turns out their relationship is innocent. But by the time Don realizes this he has already shot Ben, Alice and even Camille. Camille wishes that things might have turned out differently and that is what happens. All concerned find themselves back at the party’s beginning again and again doomed to live that same hour over and over again until they get it right. Is it all an accident? Or is their dilemma part of someone’s fiendish plan? A labyrinth of hilarity exits to a shocker of an ending.

The Mansfield Blues Fest
Squirrel Lake
By Brian Mitchell
In a place called Squirrel Lake, you’re bound to meet a nut or two! Phil, Sally, and Patrick gather at their family’s summer home on the shores of Squirrel Lake, Wisconsin, to read their recently deceased mother’s will. A cast of characters, including a nun (or is she?) and her insane brother, a psychic, supposedly sent by Mom from the great beyond, and their own out-of control children add madness to mayhem as they try to get everything sorted out. In the end, Squirrel Lake proves that even the unlucky in life can find happiness and contentment if they simply look for the gifts given to them.
