"Jack of Diamonds" by Marcia Kash!

The $40 tickets include a catered meal and the performance of Jack of Diamonds. The play will be held on April 8, 9, and 10 at the Summit Center. Happy hour begins at 5:30pm with the Bancroft Fire Department serving a beverage bar as a fundraiser. The meal will begin at 6pm and the performance to follow around 7pm.

Jack is a former jeweler who made his living buying and selling diamonds via late-night TV ads. He lives in a rather luxurious, privately-owned retirement home along with his fellow residents: the visually challenged techno-wizard Rose, the artistically gifted but forgetful Flora, and the narcoleptic beauty Blanche. Unbeknownst to the four of them, however, the man to whom they’ve entrusted their life savings - a smooth-talking financial advisor named Barney Effward - has been arrested for bilking his clients out of their savings through a Ponzi scheme. Faced with financial ruin, the four suddenly find themselves confronting the author of their miserable fate when Effward is unexpectedly delivered among them – along with several million dollars in diamonds. Pandemonium ensues as the four retirees try to find a way to exact their revenge, recoup their losses, and keep the authorities from discovering their plans.
