Pound Cake Recipe

There isn’t much I like better than a nice slice of pound cake. In fact, I’ve been asking for this for many birthdays over the past few years. Give it a try. Serve it as is or top it with a little fruit, whipped cream or ice cream.

A Murder Mystery Parody on “Gone With The Wind”

Welcome to Sassafras, the ancestral plantation home of the Simpson family. Colonel Simpson has asked you here tonight to celebrate the upcoming marriages of his daughters, Scarlett and Melody. The Colonel is delighted about the impending nuptials, and will be even happier when he actually finds two young men willing to marry the girls. After all, eligible young men are scarce these days. War is looming on the horizon, and Yankee spies are everywhere. The only single gentlemen around seem to be the Pinkney boys, and let’s face it, they are a bit odd. And we can’t forget Brett Rutgers, a gambler of vague origins, and questionable repute. These gentlemen may not be a perfect match for the girls, but, in these trying times, who can wait for perfect. You may even win a PRIZE for guessing who the murder was and why he or she done it! So sit back, enjoy the party, and keep your eyes open for stray bullets and Yankee spies!

Opens April 20th – May 26, 2012
Every Friday and Saturday Evening at 7 PM
