RCT Presents If the Shoe Fits

RCT's spring production is the farcical If the Shoe Fits by Matt Thomson, Matt Chiorini and Dana Vermette. | April 30th -May 4th at the Russell Community Theater Playhouse | Curtain is at 8PM! 

A classic tale of boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love and want to live happily ever after. However, there is a husband in the way! It all started when Delores (Shawna Noller), an unhappy housewife, and George (Jay Pummel), a shoe salesman, met at Shoe Fantasy and it was love at first shoe-fitting. The only thing standing in the way was Delores' doting but half-witted husband, Marvin (Cody Rogge), who would never agree to a divorce. So there was only one thing left to do—kill Marvin so they can run off together and live a carefree life of passion and romance in a tropical paradise. Delores invites George to dinner and introduces him to Marvin as a new friend. What was supposed to be a simple foolproof murder turns into a hilarious fiasco when Esperanza (Teressa Roe), the eccentric Spanish-speaking maid, arrives on the wrong day and she, too, falls for George. Now George and Delores must devise a way to get rid of the lovesick Esperanza and carry out their plan to kill Marvin—that is without killing each other first! Their attempts get funnier and funnier as the lovers try again and again to finish the job only to have Esperanza and Marvin unknowingly foil their plans each time—resulting in this wacky tale of love, murder and…shoes!
