Before the first choice
Briar Glen’s community theatre is staging The Wrong Umbrella for a local benefit. You are helping your cousin Bea run the evening; Alex Reid, an old school friend, is repairing the set.
It should be a straightforward reunion. Unfortunately, the doorway is leaning, the props keep getting mixed up, and you still find Alex’s terrible jokes funny.
People you’ll meet
- Alex Reid
- Your old school friend, now a carpenter helping with the set. Their dry jokes still catch you off guard.
- Bea Fraser
- Your cousin and the show’s director. Believes a good entrance can solve almost anything.
- Mo Grant
- The theatre’s front-of-house volunteer, an expert at finding spare chairs and biscuits.
