2 mins read

TEMPLE – The Sandy River Players theater company will be raising money for a new roof on its storage building the best way it knows how – by presenting a play at the Temple Stream Theater complete with dessert and coffee, beginning at 7 p.m. on Oct. 3 and 4.


Terrence Truelung (Jeff Bailey, at left) and Sheriff Tinfoil (Steve Muise, at right) apprehend nefarious Desmond Darkacre (Dan Ryder) in the Sandy River Players production, “The Wild Flowering of Chastity,” which will be presented as a benefit on Oct. 3 & 4 at the Temple Stream Theater.

The play is a short and blisteringly-paced satirical melodrama titled “The Wild Flowering of Chastity”

and stars some of the best actors we have around. Lori Lewis, high school teacher by day, will appear as the innocent young maiden living with her aged aunt (Kyla Wheeler) who cannot pay the kindly old banker (Allan Smith) the mortgage again this month.

The plot thickens when the dastardly villain, played by Dan Ryder, (real-life mild-mannered English teacher), enters the scene and pushes old Henry Homeward to his reward. Will the long lost sisters (Karen West and Debbi Hiltz) save the day? Or will the conquering hero (Jeff Bailey) make amends? Perhaps the local justice keeper (Steve Muise) will actually keep justice?

Only the play’s director Debby Muise knows and she’s not talking.

Dessert and coffee or cider start at 7 p.m. with some musical entertainment and the show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Seats are limited and may be reserved by calling 779-7084. A donation of $7 per person is suggested. Come enjoy the rustic charm of this hilarious show in the country setting of Temple Stream Theater.
