The story takes place in the Temperance Society Hall during Prohibition in the 1930s. The caretaker of the hall is moonlighting. He is offering storage space to a rum runner, in the only building the police haven't got under surveillance - The Temperance Hall. The rumrunners are moving in the contraband rum when they are interrupted by the townspeople who are arriving for their Temperance meeting.

Every drama group has experienced the horrors of what can go wrong on the night and the ladies of the F.A.H.E.T.G. Dramatic Society are no different, with the possible exception that almost everything that could happen does. The scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines forgotten, and the sound effects take on a strange note at times, as the ladies present their ambitious evening's entertainment with the cunning whodunit, "Murder At Checkmate Manor".
The Princess and the Pea
Lani Brockman and Susan Bardsley

Will the Queen let her son marry the girl he loves even if she's not as pretty as the other princesses? And what defines a real princess? Beauty? Kindness? Courage? The Prince doesn't want to marry just anyone, he wants to get to know her first. This story encourages children to follow their hearts and dreams and not live someone else's expectations or demands.

Adapted by Kristin Laurence.
Based on the book by Louisa May Alcott.

The play begins that memorable Christmas when Marmee leaves to visit her sick husband and Jo sells her beautiful hair to help finance the trip. It ends just a year later when the happy family is again preparing to celebrate not only Christmas but also the return of Mr. March. In between these two events, we again live, laugh, love and cry with Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth as they go through the many trials and tribulations that have made this story a classic.
