“Mindgame” opens this weekend
LOWER LAKE — “Mindgame,” the psychological drama by Anthony Horowitz, opens this weekend at the Lower Lake Historic Schoolhouse Museum in Lower Lake.
Director Tim Barnes has put together a production that he said will “rock your perceptions of reality versus insanity.”
Set in a hospital for the criminally insane, the play probes the thinking of serial murderers. Publicist Suna Flores said she believes that, “The audience from the first night will immediately call their friends and dare them to come to the following shows.”
“Mindgame” is a co-production of Lake County Theatre Company and the Willits Community Theatre Company. Performances will take place at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and April 27 and 28 and at 2 p.m. this Sunday and April 29 at the Lower Lake Schoolhouse Museum. Performances in Willits will follow in May.
All tickets cost $10 and are available at Watershed Books in Lakeport, 263-5787, Shannon Ridge Winery in Clearlake Oaks, 998-8656 and Griffin Furniture in Clearlake, 994-2112. Tickets will also be available at the door. This show is for adults only due to violence and sexual content.
“Congress” in rehearsals
LAKE COUNTY — Auditions are being held for a summer show, “Congress: You Rule!” Auditions will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday and April 26 at The Gallery at Lake County Arts Council”s Main Street Gallery, located at 325 N. Main St. in Lakeport; and from 1 to 3 p.m. April 28 at the Lower Lake Historic Schoolhouse Museum on Main Street in Lower Lake. Performances take place in late July and early August.
“Congress” is a rock ”n” roll comedy based on the concept that the U.S. Congress can no longer get anything done and so its major decision-making has been turned into a TV game show. Craziness ensues when the show tries to decide whether or not the United States should go war.
The cast requires six men and six women, teenage or older. Singing ability would help but is not essential for all parts. Auditions will consist of a “cold read” and a bit of group singing and movement. This show will take place on the last two weekends of July and the first two weekends of August so rehearsals will run from May to July and require a summer commitment.
The show will be part of Lake County”s “Summer of Peace” celebration and proceeds of the show will be shared with Meals-On-Wheels.
