Gaslight
A Steampunk Melodrama Extravaganza!
The Westcliffe Center for the Performing Arts will be reviving its hit production of Gaslight, by Patrick Hamilton, and bringing it to the Rialto Theater in Florence.
Gaslight, a “domestic thriller” set in 1880’s London, debuted on the London stage in 1938. It came to Broadway in 1941 (as Angel Street), starring Vincent Price in the role of suave villain Jack Manningham who is, for reasons of his own, trying to drive his wife insane. She, with the help of a bluff police detective named Rough, must face up to Manningham’s efforts and thwart them before they succeed.

"Check Please" and "Check Please: Take 3"
March 2023
Dating can be hard. Especially when your date happens to be a raging kleptomaniac, or your grandmother’s bridge partner, or a mime. “Check Please” follows a series of blind dinner dates that couldn’t get any worse — until they do. Could there possibly be a light at the end of the tunnel?
"Twas the Opening Night Before Christmas"
December 2022
It’s Christmas Eve at the church and the pageant must go on in one hour. Even as parishioners are lining up at the door, the players aren’t prepared, the producer’s big plans are over budget, the directors are engaged in a power struggle, the chorus keeps clucking away, and all the while the pastor’s hopes to raise funds to help the homeless hang on a wing and a prayer.
"Clue"
May 2022
Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects.

"Love Feeds the Hungry Soul -or- Belly Up to the Salad Bar"
June 2021
This was a delightful melodrama that featured a dashing Hero, a sigh-worth Heroine, and an evil Villain with a sinister laugh. It was sprinkled with loads of pun-ny humor. The audiences really enjoyed this light-hearted performance.
