"You Can't Be Too Careful" Performances

“You can’t be too careful these days, that’s what I always say!”  That is the recurring theme in Carolyn Lane’s family-friendly comedy, aptly titled “You Can’t Be Too Careful.”  It is the story about two inexperienced and bungling bank robbers who need a place to “lay low” until the “heat” is off from all the police swarming the area.  Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for them, they choose the home of kindly Harriet, a lovely lady with the largest and most diverse collection of house plants you have ever seen!  But Harriett is not alone.  When the robbers stumble in they also meet up with Harriet’s bridge club.  There’s sweet but naïve Edna, no-nonsense (and maybe even borderline paranoid) Alice and perhaps the most even-keeled of the group, Madge.  Along the way they are joined by a number of unexpected house guests, causing the robbers to feel like they chose Grand Central Station as their hide out.  But in the end, they’ll become better men through the influence of these four sweet matrons.

“You Can’t Be Too Careful” is being presented by the Lewis Lane Players, the Havre de Grace Drama Guild’s adult/teen performance troupe whose past productions include “Steel Magnolias” and “Dealt a Deadly Hand” among a plethora of others.  The show reunites many of the cast members from “Steel Magnolias” including Lavonne Taylor, Robin Gresock, Mary Kay Coughlan and Nora Burke Mahala (director of “Steel Magnolias,” now stepping onto the stage and under the lights!).  It will be presented at “Theater 351” in the Havre de Grace Activity Center, 351 Lewis Lane, Havre de Grace, Maryland.

Show times are right around the corner on Friday, November 8 at 7:00 pm and Saturday, November 9 at 1:00 pm and 5:30 pm.  Tickets are currently available for purchase at the Parks & Recreation office in the HdG Activity Center or online at www.hdgdramatroop.com/tickets.html.  Seats are general admission and are only $15.00 or $12.00 for children 0 to 11 and seniors 55 and up.
