MORGAN — After a one-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the Morgan Community Players return with Nuptialknots.com Feb. 25-27 in the Cedar Mountain High School Auditorium.

Show times are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26 and 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 27.

Tickets are available only at the door before each performance. There is no reserved seating this year. Adults are $7 and 12 and under are $4. Funds from the play go directly back to Morgan area organizations that will benefit from their receipt.

This is the Morgan Community Players 33rd year of performing. The cast is made up of 17 members, with one new actor this year. Char Carlson and Julia Garms are the directors. This year’s play is given in memory of longtime cast members Bill Vollbrecht, Bonnie Welter, and Galen Engholm who all passed away since the last performance in 2020.

Remember the 1990’s? Computers were new, exciting, and bringing different ideas every day. Online dating became a thing in the mid-90’s. If you want to see some hilarious results, be sure to attend.

Rhoda Raines (Julia Garms) desperately needs money to pay the rent on her beauty parlor, so she decides to check out a computer dating service in hopes of finding a rich man to marry her spoiled daughter Olive (Amanda Mathiowetz).

She logs on to www.nuptialknots.com. No sooner than Rhoda can say, “Wash, rinse, and set,” prospective bridegrooms are dropping all over the place.

One is a British “aristocrat” and con artist Giles St. Edmunds (Doug Daub) who brings his bubbling sister Georgia (Kristin Rossow).

Another is Hollywood producer Vinne Bambino (Ken Johnson) who takes such a shine to Rhoda that she passes herself off as Olive.

Then there’s Wilbur Sneed (Lowell Krogstad), a cop masquerading as a plumber who’s on the lookout for a con artist who’s been bilking lonely ladies out of their savings.

Finally, there’s Baron Dirk Von Duck (Doug Kopischke), who thinks he’s a Safari hunter, and Uriah Beaman (Miranda Trebesch), a strange man who seems more like a retired professor than a prospective suitor.

Mix in Ronnie Harper (Alex Hulinsky), the owner of the local Kwiki Mart who really loves Olive, and the farce is ready to go.

Mistaken identities abound and fast exits are the rule of the day, but somehow all the “nuptialknots” get straightened out – or tied!- in the end.

Other cast members not mentioned above are Eileen Rothmeier, Kelli Sorenson, Vashti Sperl, Char Carlson, Doreen Tyler, Becca Krogstad, and Amanda Johnson. New to the crew this year is Lydia Sullivan.
