Postmortem - Blue Ridge Community Theater 2591 East 1st Street across from The Swan Drive-In
By Ken Ludwig. (You may remember his other plays the theater has done, Lend Me a Tenor, Leading Ladies and Moon Over Buffalo which were all sellouts) This clever thriller is set in a magnificent pseudo-medieval castle on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River. Here, an avid Sherlock Holmes actor has invited guests for a séance. The scene is set for murder, humor and intrigue and the actor works to solve the case himself, à la his alter-ego, Sherlock Holmes. Rated R (mature subject matter, language and suspense) Friday's at 7:30 and Sunday's at 2:00 p.m. Blue Ridge Community Theater Box Office or you may purchase tickets online 706-632-9223 Visit web site

Grace and Glorie - Blue Ridge Community Theater 2591 East 1st Street across from The Swan Drive-In
By Tom Ziegler. Grace is Velveeta and Wonder Bread and Gloria is Brie and lobster. Grace can’t read or write and Gloria can't figure out Grace’s wood stove. Gloria volunteers for Hospice, an organization that, among other things, helps the terminally ill live their last days comfortably. Grace is her uncooperative new assignment. This tightly crafted play explores the differences and similarities between the two women. The contrast results in a touching and funny play. Rated PG (language) Showtimes on Thursday's, Friday's and Saturday's at 7:30 p.m. with Sunday's at 2:00 p.m.
