Opal's Baby

Another episode in the adventures of the irrepressible Opal Kronkie, the zany and lovable heroine of "Everybody Loves Opal." The setting is again Opal's tumbledown home on the edge of the city dump, where Opal has a visitor. Misguided into thinking that Opal is a rich eccentric, the visitor, Norman, announces that he too is a Kronkie. The warmhearted Opal takes him and his whole family in-whereupon they scheme to do her out of her supposed fortune. When Norman confides that his daughter-in-law, Verna, is pregnant (abetted by a well-placed pillow), Opal decides to leave all her worldly goods to the "baby," and the others have to settle for petty thievery while they figure out how to get around their lie. Needless to say the "plot thickens" hilariously as they do so, but happily all ends well - at least for Opal. This show is on the Playhouse Second Stage, a casual space with cabaret-style seating and complimentary popcorn....more
