"Lie, Cheat and Genuflect" at the Lofte
The fast-paced farce, written by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore revolves around the two "black sheep" of the wealthy Buckle family. Two bumbling brothers fell out of their grandfather's favor several years ago, and know they don't have a chance at receiving any money. But, due to a string of unfortunate bets at the track, they're in debt to a low-rent loan shark. In their desperation, the brothers cook up a scheme to have one of them pose as their grandfather's favorite, a female cousin who happens to be a nun! A cast of colorful characters including a wine-swilling maid and a rookie lawyer add to the mayhem. Director Kevin Colbert suggests a PG-13 rating for the production, and advises that some situations may not be suitable for very young children.
Kevin Colbert of Weeping Water plays the scheming brother, Tom, who has all the answers. Have you ever seen a nun with five o'clock shadow? A Lofte favorite, Jamion Biesterfeld of Louisville will spend half his time as brother Billy and the other half as the fictitious "Sister Fernando." Other cast members include Anne Pope and Christina Tipken of Eagle, Shari Hoelker of Omaha, Dave Hibler and Kevin Holdorf of Manley,
Performance dates are Oct 9-11, 16-18 and 22-25. Curtain times are Thursday-Sautrday at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $16 and may be purchased by calling the Lofte box office at (402) 234-2553 or online at www.Lofte.com.
