This production is produced and directed by Sacred Heart English teacher and local actor, Karen Szalach, with set design by Chris Nowak. A Home for Stray Cats is a psychological thriller written by John Kirkpatrick. From the time Louise Vickers, murder mystery writer, arrives at the shadowy, old country house, she notices a change in her secretary. What could be causing her to be so rude, especially to the owner of the house, Elizabeth Byron? The entire household seems to be wrapped up in schemes to get the invalid upstairs, Aunt Laura, to put them in her will, which she keeps changing to suit her present mood. Not one, but 2 people end up dead. Is one an accident, or part of a sinister plot? And why is the maid acting so strangely? Performances will take both days at 7:30 p.m. at Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart, located at 3860 Main Street in Amherst, New York. Pre-sale tickets are available in the school’s main office and cost $5 for students and seniors and $7 for adults. Tickets may also be purchased at the door for $6/$8.

| New Play Workshop Selection March 1 – March 24, 2013 A World Premiere Play by Donna Hoke Directed Kristen Tripp Kelley Married PhD scientist Marjorie has been trying to get pregnant for years, while her single, identical twin Josephine has three children by three different fathers. Fed up with infertility and pressure from her otherwise ideal husband Aidan to have children, Marjorie starts to wonder: is it so wrong to not want to be a parent? Aidan – never fully at ease with being adopted himself – isn’t ready to give up his quest for a biological child. When Josephine offers egg donor surrogacy as the “ideal” solution, salesman Aidan gives the pitch of his life and convinces his hesitant wife to inseminate Josephine personally – in their living room – an awkward scenario which prompts a recollection of a long-ago encounter that sheds new light on Aidan and Jo’s unspoken bond. Aidan and Jo bond over the resulting pregnancy, but Marjorie is unable to connect to the idea of motherhood. When baby Joseph is born early and with serious health issues, Aidan embraces his new role as a father, but Marjorie’s inability to accept the situation is obvious, particularly to sister Jo and their mother, Kay, a dubious role model for motherhood herself. As fears over Joseph’s prognosis increases, the insecurities that brought the sisters to this point come to the fore… and Marjorie’s crisis of faith may prove insurmountable… The decision that Marjorie and Josephine arrive at makes for the potent resolution to this unique and moving family drama… h/c access, $ | ||
