IF GOD COMES FOR BREAKFAST YOU DON'T BURN THE TOAST
RIVERVIEW: TAPE 23
Riverview: Tape 23 by Colleen Neuman
Riverview, Tape 23 is a touching one-act comedy-drama by Colleen Neuman. It follows Kathy, a frustrated journalist, who visits a nursing home to interview residents. She clashes with Lydia, an opinionated and uncooperative resident who fakes senility to switch identities, needles Kathy about her divorce, and ultimately reveals profound, hard truths about her tragic life.
The play features a small cast of exactly three women and takes place on a single interior set.
Kathy Davenport, a writer for a magazine. About 40
Lydia Parrish, a retirement home resident. Plays about 80
Mrs. Talbot, a nurse, middle-aged
When God Comes For Breakfast, You Don't Burn the Toast
When God Comes for Breakfast, You Don't Burn the Toast is a short, one-act comedy play written by Gary Apple. The plot follows the hilarious and unexpected events that unfold when "The Almighty" drops in for a casual breakfast with a couple, Harry and Beatrice Katzman.
It requires a small, intimate cast of just 3 actors (1 woman, 2 men) and is a popular choice for community theatre groups.
Harry Katzman, a middle-aged, somewhat frantic husband caught completely off guard by the surreal turn of events.
Beatrice Katzman, Harry's wife, who is dragged into dealing with the unexpected (and divine) houseguest.
God, The Almighty himself, who drops in casually for morning breakfast.
Both of these plays were part of our first ever production in 2007, Vaudeville, a Matter of Laughs, and we are re-mounting them as part of our 20th Anniversary Celebration
These shows are an excellent opportunity for anyone. If you've ever wanted to try the stage, this is the chance for you. Each play only runs 30 minutes so there are fewer lines to work on.
Each play will have it's own director who, in consultation with the cast, will develop a rehearsal schedule.
