Wilbur Wright Theatre Company
presents the Laurie Bryant Comedy

The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dower

Ransom cast
Produced by Margaret Matanic                  Directed by Chloe Jancosek
     Assistant Directors - Ally Shinkan & Kalie Miles

February 18, 19, 20, 2016 at 7pm


If somebody kidnapped your least favorite teacher, would you want her back?  In an award-winning comedic tale loosely based on O. Henry’s classic story, Casey and Tim nab their demanding English teacher to avoid having to take a test, but they find that no one wants her back!  It’s bad enough that she corrects the grammar in their ransom note and makes them rewrite it, but when the captive teacher assigns them a research paper on famous kidnappings in history, the young kidnappers find themselves doing more school work than ever!  Meanwhile, nobody takes the new principal (a former student of Miss Dower’s) seriously, a high-strung ex-Marine corporate exec turned housewife runs a PTA bake sale fundraiser with military precision, a Star Trek-obsessed custodian works frantically to keep the crumbling building ship-shape, and the football mascot believes himself a real Viking warrior with his sassy cousin from Brooklyn as his Valkyrie-in-training.

Miss Nelson Is Missing


by Jeffrey Hatcher

"Miss Nelson is Missing" cast
Produced by Margaret Matanic
Director - Casey Terry  Assistant Director - Lane Terry

February 19, 20, 21, 2015 at 7pm

This play is adapted from the book by  Henry Alllard and James Marshall.  Miss Nelson can't control her crazy classroom because she's just too nice. But when she disappears, her replacement is the hard-as-nails, detention-loving, recess-canceling, homework-overloading substitute teacher Viola Swamp! With the Big Test approaching, the kids suddenly realize how much they miss Miss Nelson and they'll do anything -- including hiring a private eye -- to solve the mystery of her disappearance and bring her back.

This wild parody of film, radio and TV murder mysteries is full of hilarious off-the-wall characters. Johnny, a down-on-his-luck private eye, takes the case of Lawanda Bamboomba, a gold-digging floozy accused of murdering her wealthy husband.
She's a sculptor who creates statues from Spam. Things really get bizarre at her Spam retrospective art opening reception - an event catered by the police chief who thinks he's a chef! The sneaky DA pretends to fall in love with Lawanda, and when things go awry, the food police get into a fight with the pseudo-intellectual art critics. Lots of laughs, slapstick action along with a silly romance to keep things going to the final big laugh. Ends with a twist!

Hollywood Hotel
by Tim Kelly

Cast of "Hollywood Hotel"

October 7-9,  2010 at 7pm
Munster Auditorium

A hilarious situation comedy about careers in Hollywood.  Three teenage girls hit Hollywood, each full of dreams about being discovered -- one, a screenwriter; the second, a director; and the third, an actress. But their limited funds land then in a grungy bungalow court replete with assorted Hollywood characters: a tyrannical landlady, a has-been film actress, a teenage beauty queen, punk-rockers, a graffiti artist, etc. Many hilarious survival situations as they make the first successful steps toward their chosen careers.
