The songs are timeless. The resemblance is remarkable. The message, still relevant. With multi-platinum hits like “Rocky Mountain High,” “Annies’s Song” and “Calypso,” John ­Denver captured a worldwide audience through his songs of care and concern.  Today his music comes to life through Jim Curry’s ultimate tribute. His is the first and only full-length John Denver tribute in Las Vegas, and his shows throughout North America and on the Holland America Cruise Line are testament to John Denver’s lasting appeal.

Deborah Henson-Conant

February 25, 2012

She’s a one-woman, blues-flamenco-Celtic-funk-folk-jazz-playing dynamo. She solos like a rock guitarist. She tells tall tales with the timing of a stand-up comic. She’s an irrepressible, lyrical spirit. Deborah Henson-Conant is a Grammy-nominated artist who sings and plays a 36-string custom-built electric “harness harp” in styles ranging from full-out bluesy to heart-wrenching ballad. See her once and you’ll never view or hear a harp the same way again.

Sex…? For Seniors? We usually don’t think of the golden years as being a time of quiet reflection, a time of sifting through one’s life and making sense of experiences that were confusing at the time they were being lived.

Thanks to libido enhancing drugs that is no longer necessarily true and especially at Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast, a sweet little inn for seniors. Joanne Bracht directs this hilarious romp, and it features Dr. Dan Canfield as Bud, “Bud the Stud,” Davis.

Mrs. Stancliffe (Peggy Dubey) is the proprietress of the establishment. She is quite proper herself, but isn’t above capitalizing on the fact that Bud is a chick magnet for single, menopausal, vacationing women who make up the bulk of her clientele. She herself has been pursued for years by a kind and thoughful chemist, Henry Mitchell, played by Long.

The ladies who are currently enjoying the ambiance of this quaint establishment include Victoria Ambrose (Carol Boyce), a romance novelist who personal life seems to be lacking romance, Hillary Hudson (Madeline Reim) a friend of Henry’s, and Charmaine Beauregard (Deanne Edinger), a red hot Southern Mama who isn’t shy about her lusty ways.

This would sound like an ideal situation for Bud as long as he is well supplied with Viagra which he takes by the handfuls. In the meantime Henry, the chemist, has devised a drug called Venusia that is designed to increase libido in menopausal women. This is intended for Mrs. Stancliffe. Ironically though, the pills look identical to Viagra. Who knows what would happen if these two drugs were to get mixed up. If a man were to take Venusia or a woman to  take Viagra, what would be the result? Find out on opening night for only $9.

The Doctor In Spite of Himself

Masquers serves up some deliciously funny classical fare

For anyone who thinks that plays written before the twentieth century might be boring — think again. The seventeenth century was a time when many artists were breaking out of the traditional molds, such as the artist, Quentin Massy III who painted the picture used on the poster on the facing page.

Playwright Moliere, a French contemporary of Shakespeare, was a very gutsy individual. He lived at a time when theatre itself was not accepted as an honorable thing for a gentleman of his position to be involved in, and certainly not the “no holds barred” type of comedy he is known for. But involved he was, all of his adult life. He wrote under a pen name
so as not to embarrass his noble family.

He even performed on the day he died, and his body was not allowed to be buried in the hallowed ground of his family’s plot. He was a prolific playwright, and an insightful observer of human nature.

The doctor played by Eric Suitter is not really a doctor at all, but is mistaken for one, and decides to go along with it. Director Peggy Dubey has a wonderful sense of humor herself, and also has an understanding of French culture. She is able to find the funny things and expand upon them.

‘Going Ape’ romps onto the Masquers’ stage

Within the infectious wackiness of the play, Going Ape, there is a story, and it revolvesaround Rupert, an idealistic and romantic young man played by Jeremy Hansen. Unable to copewith his existence, he has come to his aunt Millicent’s house to end it all. This proves to be noeasy matter. For one thing he is constantly attended by his aunt’s attractive nurse played by thevivacious Holli Bosnar. These two played opposite one another in a previous fast paced Masquersproduction, Once Upon a Mattress.Rupert’s plans are also being constantly interrupted by a stream of visitors. Just as he getshis nerve up to take the final plunge, one of them arrives. At first they seem fairly normal, but becomeincreasingly unbelievable. They seem to Rupert, and the audience to be many more peoplethan they really are because they change clothes rapidly, using the costumes that Aunt Milicenthad left over from the days when she was an actress. They also enter through different doors.Their madcap parade of personas include Marie Antoinette, Buffalo Bill, a Gypsy, and yes, a gorilla.These characters are played by some familiar Masquers faces, Bob Jasman, Melissa Sloan and DarrylPheasant.Finally Rupert realizes all the visitors are the same three people and his attention is drawntoward sorting out the preposterously Victorian plot in which he is trapped, and which, in a startlinglytheatrical climax, he arrives at an understanding.
