Comedy

Bethany is bright, strong, independent, beautiful and has zero self esteem. She has brought her fiance, Floyd, and his mother, Verna, up to her cabin in the woods, the site of the hunting accident that killed her first husband Chance. Much to her consternation, his ghost is still there, but only Bethany can see him. How will she explain THAT to the new mother-in-law? An outrageous laugh-a-minute comedy!

TAMMY RIZZO
(Amanda Lucas)

is thrilled to be back at the Plaza again, after her re-introduction to the stage as Mrs. Paddy in the recent Plaza production of 'The Curious Savage'. She would like to thank Greg for giving her this opportunity; her family for their love and support in all her endeavors; the whole Plaza gang for their faith in her; and God for Greg, her family, and the whole Plaza gang! When not involved with plays, Tammy enjoys cooking, reading (mostly science fiction), writing (mostly science fiction), and spinning various assorted fluffy stuffs into yarn, which she then pets and pats and talks to perhaps a wee bit too much. She hopes someday to finish the multi-volume epic space saga she has been incubating for mumbledy-mumble years, and aspires to eventually become a good enough knitter to make a scarf from all that new yarn.
