Hawkeye prepares a mysterious farce

August 3, 2008

With slap-stick, wit and a couple of guns, Hawkeye Community Theatre intends to bring a unique show to the stage. “Exit The Body” will be performed each evening at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Aug. 9 at Hawkeye Community Theatre, 521 N. 12th St. Tickets are $15 for non-members and $10 for students, members and seniors. “Exit The Body” tells the story of an author who unintentionally gets herself into trouble as all sorts of conniving characters invade her home. “I love this show,” said Ann Powers, who plays Helen O’Toole. “It’s people sneaking around in the dark and it’s really full of sight gags.” Brad McIntyre, whose character claims to be Phillip Smith, said “Exit The Body” provides for all around entertainment. “Not only is it funny, it’s a real mystery that will keep the audience guessing,” he said. “There’s guaranteed laughter for the audience.” “It’s a classic farce,” said director Buzz Powers. Powers did not want to give out much of the plot.
