[Western Reserve Playhouse]

*Western Reserve Playhouse auditions for*

*Happy Hollandaise!*

*By Tim Koenig*

*Directed by Ian Atwood*




Synopsis: All Claire Finley wants is the perfect Christmas.  She’s hired
the celebrated gourmet chef Vilma Hasenpfeffer to prepare her famous
Hasenpfeffer Hollandaise Sauce for her dinner guests — the new vicar and
his very pregnant wife, Mary.  Unfortunately, however, the chef is late,
the guests are early and there are burglars loose in the neighborhood.  To
top it all off, Claire’s father has been hit on the head (with the crèche,
no less!) and thinks he’s the leading man in all of the West End theatre
productions of the last 30 years!  With the help of her quirky brother
George, Claire tries to keep everything together as it continues to unravel
in this sidesplitting British farce reminiscent of Arsenic and Old Lace.  But
once the mayhem dies down and the mixed-up identities unscramble, the true
Christmas spirit shines bright in a surprise ending, which involves
transformation, forgiveness, and a beautiful new beginning.
