Mesmerizing …

The setting is the early 20th century in Kentucky. Two spinsters receive a strange package in the mail containing “Mrs. Whiting’s Catalog of Eligible Gentlemen.” A letter of request soon brings two charming suitors: mute Professor of Mesmerism Amos Robbilet (Paul Stout, right) and his assistant Winfield Davis (Joe Hilsee, left). Writer John Orlock‘s comedy Indulgences in the Louisville Harem then dissects the concepts of love, loss and values. Directed by Amber Miller. Show runs Thursday through Saturday, March 14-30, with a special Sunday night show March 24. Tickets are $10 general; $8 senior and student; Thursday nights all seats are only $5. Blue Room Theatre, 139 West First St. (above Collier Hardware). Info & reservations: (530) 895-3749.
