The Festival Playhouse presents A GENTLEMAN AND A SCOUNDREL by Jack Sharkey opening on February 10 and running through February 19. Fred Dickson, a young products analyst, is in a bad financial bind, which even his boss-and sometimes sweetheart-Jenny Corell cannot solve for him. Unable to get an increase in pay, Fred hits on the scheme of hiring on at the office in the guise of Texan "Rick Laredo," so that-as his own assistant-he can get two salaries for one job. Complications arise when Jenny proceeds to fall head-over-heels in love with "Rick," leaving Fred as his own love-rival. Things grow even more complex when the company's credit-check investigator discovers that Fred is banking double what he actually earns, and tries to ferret out the source of extra income.
Charles Ault, Sr. started The Player Guild in 1936 as a means to put food on the table in the middle of the depression. A love for the theatre and a creative mind brought a group of talented community actors and actresses together to provide the public with live entertainment. This concept was passed on to his son Charley Ault, Jr. who now runs The Players Guild, beginning its 76th year of production.
