Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken and wife Chris must get "the story" straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and mis-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

Looking for Snow for New Braunfels, Circle Arts Theatre

From the San Antonio Theatre Coalition:

Circle Arts in New Braunfels will be doing "Last Mass at St. Casmirs" and is looking for one or two snow machines to borrow or rent. The show runs April 5-28th so they would need it, at the latest, from March 30th (tech / dress rehearsals) through April 29th. Depending on the length of them, they might need 2 - their stage is maybe 40 feet long. They would certainly take very good care of them and return them promptly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Likewise if there is something they can loan, they'd love to!

Please contact Jennifer Perelstein at 830-237-1624 if you can help.
