Today:
This comic melodrama evokes the 1960's movie thrillers that featured such aging cinematic icons as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Lana Turner and Susan Hayward. Faded pop singer Angela Arden is trapped in a corrosive marriage to film producer Sol Sussman. In her attempt to find happiness with her younger lover, an out-of-work TV star, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository.
In a plot that reflects both Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood folklore, Angela's resentful daughter, Edith, convinces Angela's emotionally disturbed son, Lance, to avenge their father's death by killing their mother. Lance, demanding proof of Angela's crime, slips something into her after-dinner coffee, triggering a wild trip that exposes all of Angela's dark secrets.
The talented cast of TOTS' veterans, under the direction of Ed Mobley, includes Brent Marty (Miss Gulch Returns), Michael Feruzza (Striaght Jacket), Erin Cohenour (Reefer Madness), Doug Messinger (Boy in the Band/Men form the Boys), Josh Ramsey (Say You Love Satan) and Bridget Schlebecker (Sordid Lives).

This show is a riot
We blogged extensively about how much fun this show is but, suffice it to say, you will laugh out loud. All of the actors do a good job and we could watch Brent Marty play campy Angela Arden all day. This was such fun. Go- support TOTS and have a great time.
