Love fest
A St. Marys community theater presents a darker but still comedic spin-off of one of the most popular sitcoms in TV history. Trouble at the Tropicabana parodies the iconic characters of I Love Lucy, featuring Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred as they get involved with mobsters and movie moguls in an interactive murder mystery. Hosted for one day at Cottle and Gunn, a locally owned vintage shop in downtown St. Marys, the performance also includes a three course, Cuban-inspired meal.
Guests:
- David Wyttenbach, director, Trouble at Tropicabana
- Vicki Wyttenbach, actor playing Lucy
- Deborah Cottle, actor playing as Ethel
- Carlos Semidei, actor playing Ricky
