PRESS RELEASE
— for immediate release.

Spotlighters Theatre presents The Prevalence of Mrs. Seal
written by Otis Bigelow
directed by Michael Spellman
October 23, 2009 through November 15, 2009
Friday & Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm
One Thursday performance, November 12, 2009 a 8pm

Can all the money in the world buy you happiness? You bet it can. Just ask Mrs Seal. She uses her wealth to assemble a crack team of spiritualist, doctor and vamp… well, let’s say Count, and challenges them to find a way for her to live forever – or at least for a very long time.

When she opts for a brain-transfer, things begin to go haywire. With her brain going one way and her body another, she inhabits enough characters to constitute a nuclear family all by herself.

Come and see if you can keep track of “Mrs. Seal”.

This hilarious comedy - spoof - parody — has been compared to “Noises Off, except with bodies rather than doors!”
Don’t miss the fun!

SHOW TIMES: Friday and Saturday at 8pm - Sunday at 2pm
LOBBY opens one hour prior to curtain, with seating approximately 30 minutes before curtain.
Regular Tickets are $18. Seniors, Students and BTA Members are $15 and may be purchased on line at www.spotlighters.org
