It Runs In The Family

This just in...

Stage Coach Players is proud to announce that "It Runs in the Family" directed by Bernie Schuneman will be our first show. This show runs May 10th-12th and May 17th-19th at 8pm and Sunday May 20th at 2pm. All performances will be at our theater which is located at 126 S 5th Street in DeKalb, Il.

Set in the doctor's lounge of a London hospital three days before Christmas, the staff is preparing the annual holiday show. But that is only the sideshow. The real business is a conference of neurosurgeons. As Dr. David Mortimore is preparing his speech for the prestigious Ponsonby Lecture, that should guarantee him a knighthood and the hospital some badly needed funds, a former nurse, an old flame, bursts in with the news that their fling some 18 years and 9 months ago made Mortimore a father. The boy is downstairs desperate to meet his long lost Dad. In true farce style, lies pile on lies, as the doctor enlists his colleagues to deceive his wife, his boss, a police sergeant and even his newfound son. Sharp syringes, crashing wheelchairs, squirting seltzer bottles, doctors disguised as nurses, and window ledge wrestling matches gear the farce into overdrive.

The box-office will open on Sunday, May 6th, and will be open from 6-8pm through Saturday May 19th. On Sunday May 20th the box office will be open from noon to 2pm.

Tickets can be ordered by phone by calling 815-758-1940.
