Dark comedy about the Dark Ages coming to Lehighton

The Pale Moon Players will present the side-splitting comedy "Incorruptible" by Michael Hollinger at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7, 8, 14 and 15.

Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. A.D. 1250: The river flooded again last week. The chandler's shop just burned to the ground. Nobody's heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And St. Foy, the patron of the local monastery, hasn't worked a miracle in 13 years.In other words, the Dark Ages still look pretty dark.The action takes place in a 13th century monastery where four monks (Bob Fatzinger, Dave Zimmerman, Brent Harris and Noah Smith) are trying to save it from financial ruin.All seems lost until the monks take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, Jack (Mike Muffley), who teaches them an outrageous way to pay old debts.Jack's sometime girlfriend and would-be wife, Marie, (Izzy Nothstein), tries to mend his crooked ways, while a peasant woman, (Alissa Muffley), is busy doing anything to make or save a penny.Eventually, all eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit will surely encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its former glory.That is, until a rival church, run by an abbess named Agatha (Tara Crowe), claims to possess the relics of St. Foy and "their" bones are working miracles.The Pale Moon Players will donated a portion of the sale of each ticket from this production toward the Benefit for Cindy Mack."Incorruptible" and other Pale Moon Player's main stage productions are presented at Grace Lutheran Church at Fourth and Mahoning streets in Lehighton.There is free parking, free refreshments and the theater is handicapped accessible. This show is not recommended for children under 13. For more information, ticket prices or to reserve tickets, call 610-377-0290.
