The current fare at the award-winning Newport Playhouse is Ray Cooney’s Funny Money. A madcap farce of switcheroos, aliases, stolen money, and brief cases … keep your eyes on the brief cases!
Under the direction of Daniel Lee White, the ensemble of seven consists of: Tony Annicone as the dastardly Detective Davenport, Rick Bagley as the unlikely thief Henry Perkins, Pamela Gill as the sexpot Betty Johnson, Jim Killavey as the cantakerous Vic Johnson, Sarah Reed as the frazzled Detective Slater, James Walsh as the suffering taxi driver Bill, and Playhouse staple Sandi Nicastro as poor, poor Jean Perkins.
