From Mirror staff reports
The Tyrone Community Players present the comedy “Opal’s Million Dollar Duck” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 and 19 at St. Matthew Hall in Tyrone.
Written by John Patrick, “Opal’s Million Dollar Duck” recounts the story of two actors searching for costumes for their next production. Desmond and Queenie, the stars of the local summer stock company, drop by “Opal’s Antique Junque Shop.” While rooting through Opal’s treasures, they spot a nondescript oil painting — a still life of a dead mallard duck and an apple — and recalling an item in the morning newspaper about an old master which has disappeared from the local art museum, realize that this may be the missing canvas, for which the insurance company is offering a sizable reward. Hijinks and hilarity ensues as Desmond and Queenie try to get their hands on the picture.
Directed by Anna McClain, the cast includes Kathy Fink as Opal Kronkie, Sara Best as Opal’s best friend Rosie Montefalco, Irvin Fink as the great actor Desmond Dolittle Derwent and Leslie Lower as actress Queenie Derwent.
The stage manager is Nancy Sloss. The set was designed by Cindy Bennett and constructed by Phil Hoy, costumes and properties by Nancy Sloss and tickets by Ramona Ward.
Tickets cost $20 and can be purchased at the door or reserved for pickup at the door by calling 814-684-2782.
