The Amorous Ambassador
Directed by Pauline Burks

Who are these people and what are they doing? You'll have to find out by catching "The Amorous Ambassador", VTC's zany comedy opening June 14 at the Amphitheatre in Volcano. Needless to say, this "adult" comedy pokes fun at the "establishment" and reveals the naughty side of diplomatic life in Merry Olde England!

Bottom row from left to right: Shirley Sperling, Fred Burks, Rita Ross, Chuck Heinrich

Top row from left to right: Chris Borden, Jone Schwartz, Rick Barsuglia, Lois Mills

Chuck Heinrichs, as Joe, clings to Rita Ross playing Debbie, the Ambassador's daughter. Joe undergoes several gender changes during the course of action! You'll just have to see for yourself!

Lois Mills, the Ambassador's wife, has a thing or two to say to the overzealous Colonel South played by Chris Borden.

Jone Schwartz as the Ambassador's secretary and Rick Barsuglia as Percival Porter Perkins, the butler.

Shirley Sperling as Maid Marian and Fred Burks as ...well, we won't tell you..., but does this man look like a diplomat?

The Butler Did It
by Tim Kelley
Directed by Bob Duzdevich

A Murderously Wacky Comedy!

August 16 thru Sept 14, 2002

Did the butler really do it? Who is the butler and why would he want to do it? This and many other equally fascinating questions are revealed in The Butler Did It, VTC's second summer offering in the beautiful outdoor amphitheatre nestled in the historic gold rush town of Volcano.

An old mansion on a remote island serves as a backdrop to a sinister celebration attended by the world's finest mystery writers. The plot thickens as their number dimishes! Come and join the party!


Party guests pose for group photograph before
the lights go out!

Maggie Biddle and Dana Hein spot something
suspicious in the living room of the house on
Turkey Island!

Chandler Marlowe (Rolf Hein) gets the drop on
Peter Flimsey played by Steve Cannon. Or is he
about to reveal the identity of the mysterious
killer stalking the mansion?
 
"I'm telling you, that's my real hair!", says Wendy Wallace as Charity Haze, while Beth Barnard as Laura Carlyle wrestles the tresses! Carl Phillips as Father White says a prayer and Rolf Hein as Chandler Marlowe puts his mitts on the Carlyle dame!
