“A Bad Year for Tomatoes” On Stage at The Depot

The cast of Rogue Theater’s “A Bad Year for Tomatoes.”

Rogue Theater presents A Bad Year for Tomatoes at The Depot Performing Arts Center in late February and early March.

In A Bad Year for Tomatoes, written by John Patrick, the famous TV actress Myra Marlowe leaves her acting career in Hollywood and leases a tiny New England cottage for a year to write her autobiography and escape the craziness of show biz. She successfully rejects her agent’s offers for a new television series, but dealing with her nosy omnipresent neighbors is a different matter. In an attempt to shoo them away she invents a mad homicidal sister who she says is locked away in her bedroom.

A Bad Year for Tomatoes, directed by Stuart Champeau, includes cast members Lola DeVillers, Chris Milton, Chris Weidenbacher, Donna Johnson, David Clowers, Jamie Buesing and Champeau.

Performances are set for Feb. 27 & 28 and March 1, 2, 6, 7 & 8. Sunday matinee is at 2 pm, evening shows are at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased in advance at Avenson Photography/Greco Gallery or by calling the Depot PAC at 920.818.0816. The Depot Performing Arts Center is located at 341 N. Third Avenue in Sturgeon Bay.
