This classic comedy opens with a group of the guys playing poker in the
messy apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results.

A Streetcar Named Desire
Underwritten by Mendo Lake Credit Union
March 11 through April 3, 2010

Written by Tennesee Williams
Directed by Kate Magruder

A Streetcar Named Desire deals with a culture clash between characters, Blanche DuBois, a pretentious, fading relic of the Old South, and Stanley Kowalski, a rising member of the industrial, urban immigrant class. The play presents Blanche DuBois, a fading but still-attractive Southern belle whose pretensions to virtue and culture only thinly mask alcoholism and delusions of grandeur.

The arrival of Blanche upsets her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley’s system of mutual dependence. Stella’s concern for her sister’s well-being emboldens Blanche to hold court in the Kowalski apartment, infuriating Stanley and leading to conflict in his relationship with his wife. Blanche and Stanley are on a collision course, and Stanley’s friend and Blanche’s would-be suitor Mitch, will get trampled in their path.

A Time Before Dogs
Written by Bill Walls

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

A True Tale of Two Executions That Led to the Bloody Island Massacre

Before Little Big Horn...
Before Wounded Knee....
There was Bloody Island....

One of the first wholesale slaughters of Native Americans by the United States Army.  The Massacre was retribution for the murders, the executions, of Charles Stone and Andy Leksey by Pomo Indians near what is new Kelseyville, Ca.

A Time Before Dogs deals with the last months of Stone's and Kelsey's lives.

Emigration, Westward Expansion, the first wagon train to cross the plains and the first white woman to come overland to California... The Bard Flag Revolt, The Donner Party, America's War with Mexico; forced labor, starvation, sexual slavery, statehood, the displacement and dismembering of a people from their sense of land and self... all that is touched on as A Time Before Dogs opens in late summer of 1849...
