October 29-Nov. 1, Nov. 5 - 8

Opening October 29th on the Main Stage at Market House Theatre is Tom, Dick and Harry, a rolicking comedy farce written by Ray Cooney and Michael Cooney.

Tom, Dick and Harry is the story of Tom and Linda Kerwood, an uptight couple wishing to adopt a child. They are anxious to make a good impression on Mrs. Potter, the adoption agent assigned to check out their home and lifestyle. Tom's brothers Dick and Harry--not quite the legal types--want to help in every way they can, but end up creating chaos with smuggled cigarettes, illegal immigrants, and a cadaver in the house.

Directed by Michael Cochran, the cast includes MHT veterans Al Knudsen and Sabrina Beck as Tom and Linda Kerwood. Knudsen, last seen in Beauty and the Beast and The Foreigner, is the program director for the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program of Paducah. Beck was seen recently in the spring and fall productions of The Secret Life of Girls, as well as Ramona Quimby and The Underpants. MHT veteran Chuck Wilkins of the Kentucky Department of Revenue will play Dick Kerwood. Wilkins was seen most recently in Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming and The Wizard of Oz. Returning to the MHT stage as Harry Kerwood is Landon Baker, who does graphic design and video production for Faith Center of Paducah. Baker was seen in the MHT youth production of The Outsiders, as well as Jekyl and Hyde and Les Miserables at PTHS.

Playing illegal immigrants Katerina and Andreas are Lone Oak High School student Maria Miller and retired pathologist Jim Roush, both MHT veterans. Miller just finished the second run of The Secret Life of Girls in MHT's Studio Theatre, and Roush has been seen in Painting Churches and The Underpants. Playing Mrs. Potter from the adoption agency is MHT veteran Diane Byrd, director of MHT's 2008 production of Anything Goes and current member of the Murder Mystery Troupe. Playing Officer Downs is Phil Counts, seen recently in Anything Goes and director of MHT’s 2008 production of Tuesdays with Morrie. New to the MHT stage and playing the role of Boris is Shawn James, a DJ for Electric 96.9 FM. Denise Bristol is Assistant Director.
