A Comedy You Won’t Soon Forget!

CAST SIZE: 4

LENGTH: 1 hour, 30 minutes
(not including intermission or scene changes)

Maxine and Charlotte are sisters. Two buxom and full figured women who have worked hard all their lives and never quite gotten out of “Trailer Park” status. Although they have a tough exterior, they are actually very good people.

Maxine’s husband has just died of a sudden heart attack while he was on the road with their brand new Peterbilt Truck. Maxine reveals to Charlotte that Nelson’s heart attack could not have come at a worse time. They just bought the new rig, and Maxine is left in debt up to her eyeballs.

Trying to help, yet feeling at a loss, Charlotte says, “It’s a shame you can’t just pick up where Nelson left off.” Charlotte, of course does not really mean it, but Maxine suddenly figures… “Why NOT?” And so the adventure begins! And, while they’re at it, they will take Nelson’s ashes with them, hoping to find just the right place to spread them where he would be most happy.

The two women, assisted by Maxine’s loveable yet intensely micromanaging neighbor, Mary Ellen, pack the truck and take off on their first run. They get off to a bad start by taking a wrong turn and creating a major incident in a “NO TRUCK ZONE,” but soon feel reassured when they meet “Sugar Daddy” on the CB radio followed by Roy McCoy, a strange little guy with very big feet. Is it true what they say about a man with big feet?

Things get complicated they meet a hooker named Trixie at Rosie Mae’s Truck Stop. It seems Trixie knew Nelson quite well and Maxine is not amused. It now becomes painfully apparent that they have found just the right spot for Nelson’s ashes. In a roaring fury, Maxine locks herself in the Ladies Room, gives her farewell speech and flushes Nelson down the toilet. After all, he loved the water, the ladies and Rosie Mae’s Truck Stop. What could be more perfect?

With Maxine finally reaching “Closure”, the two women climb back aboard their shiny new truck and take to the road with the goal of putting their past behind them and looking forward to what lies ahead.

LOOK OUT… Here come the Mother Truckers. “The road” will never be the same again!

Released August, 2010, Regal’s Last Resort promises to keep you laughing all the way through.  This fun new comedy from Sapperstein & Murway, Buck’s County’s latest creative team, requires minimal sets and a cast of only 8 with 2 additional members hiding in the audience.

SYNOPSIS:

It’s 1996 and the town of Regal, South Carolina is going bankrupt.  The town grew up surrounding the Regal Typewriter Company and with the advent of the computer, nobody wants typewriters anymore.

The town founder, owner of the Regal Typewriter Company, Colonel Beaumont, dies of old age and having no heirs, leaves his entire estate to the town of Regal.

Through much discussion, it is decided that, with all the experienced talent on the Board, the best thing to do is to turn the Factory into a Shopping Bazaar and the Colonel’s large home estate into a posh Hotel Resort and Spa.

On the Board is an Attorney, an Accountant, a Building Contractor, an Interior Designer, a High School Gym Teacher, a Real Estate Broker and Daisy Biskett.  Daisy is the owner of the local restaurant and has written and published a cook book.

Then there is Masood Habibi.  He is the owner of Habibi Fine Rugs, which always seems to be running a 20% off sale.  Masood, being the clever businessman that he is, has his own agenda.

The greed sets in and everyone see’s an opportunity to get rich quick.  Finally depleting the town coffers of all working capital, they must make an accounting at a Town Hall meeting, but they have backed themselves into a corner.

Miraculously there is an anonymous buyer that wants to purchase the Hotel Resort at a very good price and quickly.  However, the Townspeople become suspicious after the council sell’s the Hotel and restores the town’s bank account with the proceeds.

The Townspeople rebel until finally, Daisy Biskett can’t take it anymore.  She hysterically announces that SHE is the buyer.  She has made so much money from the sale of her cook book, that she is more than able to make the purchase.

There is greed, fist fights, a secret sexual tryst, unrequited love, several 20% off sales and in the end, there is even talk of a bordello.

Newly released, January 2010, This Man Is An Island, the latest work from Sapperstein & Murway, promises big things.  A drama filled with murder, mystery, intrigue and love, it’s a must see for all audiences covering multi-racial issues and delving into history.

SYNOPSIS:

Born on the fictitious Caribbean Island of Herencia, Miguel Gutierrez finds himself returning home to the island his family has owned and inherited down the line since the 1400′s.

Miguel assumes that he is being called home because something is wrong with the man who raised him since the death of his parents, his beloved 96-yr-old Grandfather. He is totally surprised, however, when his Grandfather greets him, in fine health, from the front porch of the family’s plantation home.

Miguel has a surprise of his own when he announces that he is planning to marry the beautiful Naya, daughter of Juan Ruiz’ faithful servant, Dante.

The greedy Kofi Luma and his arrogant son Vega have devised a plot to kill Miguel, as Kofi did to Miguel’s parents, before he can produce the next heir to the Gutierrez’ claim upon Herencia…claiming it for themselves.

Mama Lena, a self proclaimed Voo Doo priestess; Gotu the savvy businessman who can find anything for anyone; Lorna the bar-maid who sings this plays’ only song, “Dee Island Way” (music provided); and Calvin the colorful bartender round out the island people who are so very devoted to the Gutierrez family.

In the end, the villains outsmart themselves. It is their intention to send a bomb to the wedding of Miguel and Naya, concealed in a wedding present. But, unbeknownst to them, they are secretly overheard by Gotu as they make their plans and Gotu manages to send the package back to them. The bomb explodes during the wedding alright, but it does so at the warehouse where all the enemies have gathered.

Everyone is totally surprised to find out that Gotu has intervened, since it is NOT in his nature to “get involved”. When he makes the final revelation that the pilot of the small plane carrying Miguel’s parents to their death was, in fact, his brother…things become more apparent.
