Galloping in and out of the four doors of an English Vicarage are an American actor and actress, a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who “touches alcohol for the first time in her life,” and four men in clergy-man’s suits presenting the problem of which is which, for one is disguised as an escaped prisoner and another a sedate bishop aghast at all these goings on!

The setting is Maraczek’s Parfumerie in Budapest, where the expert sales staff is managed by Georg Nowack. On the staff is Amalia Balash - strongwilled, confident, and highly vocal in her disagreements with the boss, the dashing rake Steven Kodaly, and his love-sick sweetheart, Ilona Ritter. The ensuing romantic entanglements - caused by an exchange of heart-felt anonymous letters between the unsuspecting Amalia and Georg, Steven’s
incorrigible womanizing, and Ilona’s impossible romantic dreams - are pure musical theatre gold.

Sarah Goldman has called an escort service. Her date, Bob, shows up. What Bob doesn’t know is that Sarah wants him to pose as her Jewish and very serious (surgeon!) boyfriend, “Dr. David Steinberg,” for her parents and brother, Joel. Sarah doesn’t want her parents to know that she is still seeing Chris, who is NOT Jewish. It all ends up with Sarah trying to figure out if her lie is worse than her parents’ forcing her to be someone she is not.

All the town folk of 1940s Second Samuel, Georgia, are typical God-fearing, patriotic Americans. Miss Gertrude, described as “the sweetest woman that ever drawed a breath,” has died, and the whole town gets wrapped up in giving her a beautiful funeral when a secret is revealed about Miss Gertrude that brings an immediate halt to plans. The theme of the play is tolerance, and the beauty in it lies in how the residents of Second Samuel are forced to look at themselves and finally come to the realization of what being a Christian should mean.
