Unnecessary Farce
The 2021 season for The Island Players kicks off with Unnecessary Farce, directed by Lori Willis. Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. The laugh-out-loud comedy has all the elements of a vaudeville comedy but with a contemporary American plot. Show dates: January 8-9, 15-16, 22-23 at 7:30 p.m., January 10, 17 and 24 at 3:00 p.m. Masks are required and social distancing guidelines will be followed. Tickets can be purchased in advance at theislandplayers.com.
