“Planting Season”
By Dr. Daniel Boatright
World Premier
*Reservations Required
Planting Season is a comedy in three acts. Digby Dye, whose hoped for career was cut short by a petty politician and one little barn full of dead race horses, is a funeral home owner in Wabeno. He and his partner, Gustav, have found themselves unlikely and unplanned accomplices of a high-end fashion fraud, a mafia kingpin who has an abundance of bodies to hide, and an Alabama Bootlegger attempting to get his “old family recipe” up to those thirsty Canadians. Each of the arch-criminals wants all the coffins Digby and Gustav can supply for their nefarious purposes. Sadly, they don’t really have enough to fill the needs of one, much less all three of the criminals as they try to juggle the precarious situation….and survive it. Amber Dawn, Digby’s girlfriend, who is “the smart one” of the group, is trying to dig Digby out of the hole he’s in. Others in this adventure include Police Commissioner Martini, Detective Cosmo, and a variety of other friends…or are they friends?
