CUMBERLAND — The Embassy Theatre is presenting a pair of one-act plays by Allegany Magazine Editor Shane Riggs beginning June 13.
In the premiere of “Never Say Goodbye,” Lucille Ball is at a crossroad in her career. Who better to advise her than the ghost of Carole Lombard? And why ever would Lombard let a little thing like her ghostly condition come between friends? The ensemble features Whitney O’Haver as Lucy, Katie Zimmermann as Carole, Seth Thompson as Desi and Lura Thompson as Hildy.
Preceding “Never Say Goodbye” is another premiere of a play that has been performed many times but the Embassy’s production will be the first time it will be seen as the author originally envisioned. Suspense builds as Marie Osmond’s No. 1 fan is accused of murder. How do they plead? Find out in “The Marie Defense,” featuring Stephen Hess.
The performances run June 13 through June 22 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
Tickets to all performances are available online at https://embassy.ticketbud.com. Call the Embassy at 240- 362-7183 for more information or to make reservations.
