Play Overview

This light-hearted 50’s comedy is about what happens when a witch in New York makes a lover of a very conventional man, and then has to face the consequences when she really falls in love with him. Gillian Holroyd becomes interested in her upstairs neighbor and tenant, and hexes him into falling in love with her. Shep Henderson, her quarry, is mystified, delighted, and completely unaware that other-worldly forces are at work. Despite the oddness of Gillian’s aunt and brother, themselves an endearingly addled old witch and a fun-loving warlock, Shep is oblivious. He only knows that his life changed when he crossed over Gillian’s threshold. When she realizes that she is falling in love herself, Gillian faces a dilemma: she will lose her considerable powers if she acts on her feelings. Will love prevail?

Play Overview

Esmerelda Quipp is 80, still of sound mind, but her body is beginning to “come unglued”, as she puts it. Having spent her working life as an actress, age pushing her gradually out of the business, she now faces the fact that her meagre government pension is insufficient to support her, even with her minimal needs. When she is arrested for attempting to bury her dead cat in her landlord’s yard, she finds that there is some sense of community, not to mention free room and board, within the prison system. She devises a plan to get herself sent back to jail; she robs a bank. But a well-meaning public defender gets the charges against her dropped. Esmerelda Quipp is undeterred! Using money she gets from returning stolen wine bottles to a recycling depot, she buys a toy gun at the local dollar store, and commits armed robbery. Knowing that she will be convicted because she will plead guilty, she assumes that she can spend the rest of her days living free, hanging out with other women, and being fed decently in a women’s prison. But the system that has failed her also wants to forgive her because of her age and general health, and the public defender wants to use an insanity plea to get her off. How will Esmerelda convince the legal system she should be incarcerated, literally, for life?

Rehearsals

Rehearsals will be held in Oneonta at 297 River St. Service Road, the Institute for Spiritual Development, Oneonta, beginning in late January.
Rehearsals will move to the performance space, the Worcester Wieting Theatre, in Worcester on March 9.

Performance Dates & Location

  • Show Dates: April 17, 18, & 19, 2026
  • Venue: the Wieting Theatre, 197 Main St., Worcester, NY

Available Roles & Descriptions

  • ERIC SHERIDAN – Male 30’s.  A police officer.  A bookish, even keeled guy who finds himself completely out of his element when called upon to express his feelings for a woman, lie to his boss, disguise himself as someone else, and stand up to an armed mobster – while not wearing any pants. Acting requires physical comedy.
  • BILLIE DWYER – Female 20’s/30’s. A police officer, Eric’s partner.  Excitable and entirely unthreatening, she seemingly lacks every skill necessary for police work, but is as eager to succeed as she seems destined to fail.  Acting requires physical comedy.
  • KAREN BROWN – Female 30’s. An accountant, who has always taken pride in her accountant-like and professional demeanor – until this morning, when she finds herself filled with a sexual hunger, unable to keep her clothes on, and unable to keep things under control. Acting requires physical comedy.
  • MAYOR MEEKLY – Male 50’s to 70’s.  The sweet, naive mayor. Affable and gentle.
  • AGENT FRANK – Male 20’s to 30’s.  The head of Security at Town Hall, and frankly, the wrong man for the job.  Although he presents as confident, he is frequently (and especially during moments of crisis) afraid of his own shadow.  Acting requires physical comedy.
  • TODD – Male 20’s to 30’s.  Speaks with a thick Scottish accent.  Acting requires physical comedy.
  • MARY MEEKLY – Female 50’s to 70’s.  The mayor’s wife.  Small in stature and unfailingly sweet, she seems, in every way, the perfect match for her husband.

About the Play

Enjoy this clip from a The Cumberland Playhouse production on YouTube: https://youtu.be/toX7uHrPwAI?si=m-_w-wVLDzKQzhcY
“Unnecessary Farce” is a riotous comedy packed with mistaken identities, bumbling law enforcement, and a suitcase full of laughs. Join us for an unforgettable experience both onstage and off!

And yes, we actually bake a cake onstage!

About the Play:

Office Hours is a full-length comedy by Norm Foster. Six separate stories are unfolding in six separate offices on one Friday afternoon. In true Norm Foster style, it makes us laugh at our humanity, cleverly linking a TV news producer, a pair of Canadian movie producers, a rather unsavory agent, an entertainment lawyer, a horse track owner. and a psychiatrist. This highly acclaimed theatrical comedy is a madcap race towards quitting time. It’s a wild ride with an ending that sends the audience into a collective howl.
