Welcome to the Santa
Maria Civic Theatre Web site.
OPENING THIS WEEKEND
Communicating Doors
Written by Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Bob Larsen
Performances April 25 through May 17
This intricate time traveling comic thriller by the British master of farcical comedy Alan Ayckbourn has delighted London and New York audiences. A London-based professional dominatrix from the future stumbles into a murder plot that sends her, compliments of a unique set of hotel doors, traveling back in time. She and two women who were murdered in 1998 and 1978 race back and forth in time trying to rewrite history and prevent their own violent ends. The frantic race begins when Poopay is hired for an evening at the Regal Hotel by an old man who eschews a fling in favor of confessing his role in the demise of his wives. Now a target, Poopay flees into the vestibule and somehow triggers the time machine.
Our next production!
