RED HERRING
by Michael Hollinger
November 17 - December 18, 2005
COMEDY
It’s 1952—America’s gonna blow the H-bomb, everybody likes Ike and Sid Caesar’s crazy on Saturday night. Meanwhile, Joe McCarthy’s daughter just got engaged to a Russian spy and hard-boiled detective Maggie Pelletier has to figure out what Velveeta cheese and kippers can tell her about the stiff they just fished out of Boston harbor. Hang onto your fedora—the cops are quick, the jokes are rapid-fire and the spies are just plain hot…if you catch our drift.
Directed by David Cecsarini
Featuring Deborah Clifton, Bo Johnson, Mary MacDonald Kerr, Ryan Schabach, Chris Tarjan, Emily Trask
