Production History

Tom and Linda Kerwood are preparing for a home visit that could bring them one step closer to adopting a baby. Everything needs to go perfectly. Unfortunately, Tom’s brothers have decided to help. Dick arrives with smuggled goods and two unexpected passengers, while Harry brings a dismembered cadaver and a scheme to make the couple’s rented home more affordable. As the adoption representative and a persistent police officer enter the picture, Tom struggles to keep an increasingly outrageous collection of secrets behind closed doors. Rhonda Clark directed the nine-person cast in Ray and Michael Cooney’s farce, presented as CST’s Season 26 holiday production.
