Birmingham Village Players: 'Lucky Stiff'
The Birmingham Village Players present their latest performance: Lucky Stiff, going on during weekends in March at the Village Players Theater.
This zany, off-beat, and very funny murder mystery farce is complete with slamming doors, mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds, and a corpse in a wheelchair. The story revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently-murdered Atlantic City uncle on a vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing off his uncle as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn, or else to the gun-toting wife of the casino owner.
The show is directed by Michael A. Gravame. All shows begin at 8 p.m. with the exception of March 18 and 25, which begin at 2 p.m.
