The roads are flooded, the bridges are washed out, and less generous souls are staying safely indoors, but it takes more than a little rain to keep the ladies of the Charitable Sisterhood from fulfilling their sworn mission.
The pastor’s wife, a tireless mother of nine, a transplanted Yankee and a new arrival meet to organize a relief effort for homeless Guatemalans with a small mountain of community donations — but one woman’s junk is another woman’s treasure, and that pile of stuff in this little church basement is hiding a mystery or two.
Come sit in on this month’s meeting in the basement of Second Trinity Victory Church; our five angels of mercy will leave you breathless with laughter as they do their best to help the victims of global disaster, spiritual deprivation and, most of all, one another. A hilarious and heartwarming play!

Sex. Drugs. Murder. Clowns. Clown Bar will plunge you into a gritty, darkly hilarious underworld where the gangsters wear greasepaint and every punchline could be your last. This outrageous neo-noir play follows former clown turned cop Happy Mahoney as he’s dragged back to the seedy dive he once called home in order to solve his brother’s murder.
SPEAKEASY TAKEOVER!
Give the password at the door as we transform the WSSR into a speakeasy! The bar will be open starting 1 hour before each performance. Come early to have a drink, mingle with the clowns, and experience a variety of Clown Cabaret acts!
DRESS UP AS A CLOWN!
Audience members who come dressed as clowns get $5 of Clown Cash good toward anything at the bar!

Polo Area Community Theatre presents the comedy "The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood" weekends May 3-10 at Old Polo Town Hall.
In this frantically funny retelling of the traditional story, our gallant guy-in-green swaggers through in his quest to aid the needy. On the way he encounters some very unusual versions of the classic characters. Along with his spoon-wielding Merry Men, whose collective IQs equal six, he jaunts through Sherwood Forest on a mission to rescue Lady Marian. This action packed and silly adaptation is one the whole family will enjoy.
The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood will be presented May 2nd, 3rd, and 9th at 7pm, and the 4th and 10th at 2pm at the Old Polo Town Hall. For more information or to purchase tickets go to www.polotheatre.org. Tickets are also available at the door.
