BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI – St. Dunstan’s Theatre is proud to present its upcoming production of the hilarious comedy, Unnecessary Farce. This show is sure to have the audience in stitches with its fast-paced dialogue and witty one-liners.
Unnecessary Farce is a hilarious comedy that tells the story of two hapless cops hoping to crack their first big case: busting their Mayor for embezzlement. When they set up a sting at a local motel, they discover more than what they bargained for with a mousy accountant, a professional hitman, and a bumbling security guard. It’s sure to have the audience laughing from start to finish.
This production features a talented cast of local actors including Craig VanKempen (Beverly Hills) and Lindsey Brenz (Berkley) playing the cop duo, Rachel Biber (Huntington Woods) as the Accountant, Paul Dorset (Birmingham) playing Agent Frank, Tom Arwady (Rochester) as the Mayor, Bronwen Mischel (Grosse Pointe) as the Mayor’s wife, and Jason Dilly (Franklin) as the Scottish hitman, Todd.
With a script written by playwright Paul Slade Smith, this show is guaranteed to be an uproarious evening of theatre.
