Did Tom really do the terrible thing that has him sitting in jail awaiting trial?  Some of those close to Tom think it’s possible, but does anyone know for sure?  Even if he didn’t do it, will those who know come to his aid?

In “God Damn Tom,” Wayne Rawley’s comedic drama set in Marysville, Wash., Tom’s history means  as much in deciding his fate as his current circumstance. Told with straight from the shoulder emotion and the salty language of people for whom profanity is not a four-letter word, “God Damn Tom” will make you laugh, cry and gasp.  Directed by Tom Fiscus, this readers theater production stars Aaimee Johnson, Christopher Evans, Frank Michels, Pat Ayers, Rebecca Herman and Ron Herman.  The show runs Thursday, June 25 and Friday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Random Howse. Due to strong language and profanity the show is not suitable for children.

Coming July 23 and 24, Actors’ Theatre of Orcas Island presents an evening of theater and music at the Random Howse with the readers theater production of David Mamet’s “The Frog Prince” plus music by The Daves: Dave Zoeller and Dave Parish.

Mamet’s short play is a retelling of the familiar Grimm’s fairy tale with a contemporary sensibility featuring Indy Zoeller, Halley McCormick, Tom Fiscus and Carolyn Fiscus, directed by Melinda Milligan. The Daves will be playing music on guitar, flute, concertina and piano – Celtic, traditional, original and a few surprises.

Tickets for each show are $10 at Darvills Bookstore, at the door at Random Howse and online at www.orcasactors.com. Doors open at 6 p.m. for a light dinner menu and a full bar.
