Huge oil reserves have been discovered in The Chagos Islands, and now O.P.E.C. is pressuring the Chagosians to join the cartel. The Chagosians however, are interested in placing themselves under the protection of the U.S. A secret meeting between a representative of the Islands and a U.S. under secretary of state, Margaret Johnson, has been arranged in a C.I.A. safe house in the mountains of Virginia. Unfortunately, no one knows who the Islands’ representative really is.
Concerned about possible O.P.E.C. interference, the C.I.A. has sent agent Luke James to secure the cabin. An eager beaver on his first field assignment, we are left to wonder how he ever got the job. He gets caught in all his own booby traps, manages to electrocute himself, sets himself on fire, gets a bucket stuck on his head, and if that isn’t enough, he finally locks himself in his own handcuffs!
Find out the rest of the story in August!

As decribed in the World Telegram, "The new play recounts only the twelve months' period encompassed by the signing of a lease on a Greenwich Village basement apartment and the evacuation thereof, and a few of the amazing adventures that befell the two girls…an engaging, heart-warming play with exceptionally high comedy content. Eileen is the pretty one—the one who has stage aspirations and the homey personality that innocently invites passes from every man from 14 to 85 who has eyes in his head. Ruth is the plainer one, and her bent is for literature. Well, the two girls…land in the toils of Landlord Appopolous and the most distracting apartment you ever saw. Through their basement grating the swirling life of the village, its drunks and gamins, its hucksters and hustlers and occasionally its cops, seep, flow and sometimes come in an unwelcome deluge…The kitchenette is aptly described as a 'nauseating nook.' Blasting in the new subway cavern beneath rocks the building…Finally six officers of the Brazilian navy follow Ruth home, under certain mistaken impressions, and create something…only short of an international incident."

Who is MAME? Some of Mame's wild, adventurous spirit is inside everyone who lives for the moment and believes that "life is a banquet!" It's the height of the 1920's and Auntie Mame becomes the guardian for her ten-year-old nephew, Patrick. Special songs include Mame, It's Today, Open a New Window, If He Walked into My Life, We Need a Little Christmas, Bosom Buddies and That's How Young I Feel. Her life is turned up-side-down, many of her priorities change, but she still lives life to the fullest.
