HAZARDS ON THE GREEN

This summer Redbud Theatre presents The Money Ball, a broad comedy, written by local playwright Brian Bottemiller. It will be directed by Bruce Marrs, veteran of many Redbud plays, mask maker, and Dell’Arte faculty member. The play takes place in northern California in 2006 on a fictitious golf course, Hollow Promises Golf and Country Club. The play will be performed outdoors on our own Willow Creek Golf and Country Club.

It’s a simple story - Dwayne Fender thinks someone is blackmailing him for falsifying credit applications so he can sell cars to people who can’t really afford them. It might be the car salesman he just fired, Ted Balch, who he’s sure, overheard him and the credit manager, Roger Colt scheming. Dwayne also fears his wife Phyllis might find out or worse yet his sister-in-law, Governor Sweet. What Dwayne doesn’t realize is, he has worse problems. A huge drug smuggling operation is being run out of his parts department by Big Mack and Mac Last and not being run very well. This has got the attention of their supplier, K. Nine (a very bad person); right hand man, Dimes; and the, oh so corrupt, Sheriff Highball. Find out who lives and who dies in nine rounds of golf.

The cast includes: Rick Stewart, John Donahue, Roland Grubb, Bruce Nelson, Fred Curns, Camilo Olmos, Brian Bottemiller, Rod Lewis, Bruce Taylor, Marc Rowley, Londa Rowley, Susan Walsh, Gianna Orozco, Julie Calvosa, Jennifer Junkin, and Linda Lyman.

Willow Creek Golf and Country Club is located on Patterson Road in Willow Creek. The play opens July 2 and continues July 3, 4. 9, 10, 16, and 17. The play begins at 8:30p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults; $7 for children 12 and under, and may be purchased at the door.

Murder point blank

THE CAFE NOIR SERIES CONTINUES

This fall, Redbud will present Murder Point Blank, the third story in the Cafe Noir series. In Murder Point Blank, Rick has hired a singer and opened a photo display of “300 yrs of shady business” at the cafe. To this comes an American detective looking for a murderess but stumbling across a gangster on the lam, a beautiful French historian and a British lawyer with a desire to go night diving. When the murderess ends up dead and the cop is implicated in the murder, it’s Just Plain Rick who helps him out of the jam by helping him find the real killer. It’s a true forties style American mystery with the perfect mix of action, intrigue, humor and romance.
