Description
By Paul Slade Smith
Directed by Kurt Naebig
Laugh out loud funny from start to finish! A pair of inept police officers set up a sting operation to trap an embezzling mayor meeting his female accountant…in a pair of matching hotel rooms, what could go wrong? Confusion fills the stage with doors slamming, clothes flying, and bagpipes bleating, all of which adds up to an over-the-top tale of mix-ups… who took the money, who hired a hitman and why does the accountant keep taking her clothes off?!? "A fast and furious new farce." - Playbill “Unrelenting laughs.” – The Boston Globe “A smash hit! Two hours of non-stop laughter. The plot weaves you through mix-ups and mayhem you won’t believe. This is one funny show you don’t want to miss!“ – ABC 53 (Michigan)
