Imagine that your best friends live right across the street from you. Imagine that Scotland Yard comes to you, hoping to use your house to watch the comings and goings of those same friends who very well might be Russian spies. Imagine that you must keep all of this a secret. That’s the world that the Jacksons find themselves in as they are asked to betray their friends the Krogers. Based on a true story, this suspenseful drama, chosen by director Brad Sales, is dubbed by the N. Y. Post as “Absolutely engrossing ... an evening of dynamic theatre.” *Cast: *Chloe Carr, Chas Deremer, Karen Flannery, Marlene Hehmeyer, John Hnat, Jonathan McCleery, June Lang and Kristina Rivera Performances are April 3, 4, 5, 11,12 at 7:30 p.m. with matinees on April 6 and 13 at 3 p.m. Doors open 45 minutes before show time.
