Elden Street Players opens
this season with another bang… literally.
From the production team and playwright that brought us the
plot-twisting hilarity of Accomplice last fall, comes
a brand new play sure to give the audience another thrill.
ESP has acquired special permission from the playwright, Rupert
Holmes, to produce the regional premiere of his latest thriller,
Thumbs.
The small ski-country town of Barnstock, Vermont is being stalked
by a serial killer with a penchant for removing the victim’s thumbs.
ESP audiences are in for another hilarious thrill ride… be sure to
get your reservations early.
Produced by Hilary D. Huse
Directed by Todd C. Huse
About the director:
Todd C. Huse has been working with
ESP since 1996 when he first accepted a role as “the boy next door”
in our production of Death of a Salesman. Since then he
has been on the ESP stage in Hamlet (Hamlet), The Grapes
of Wrath (Tom Joad), The Runner Stumbles (Fr. Rivard) and
ART (Serge), but he may be most recognizable for his
directing work. Successful productions of The Who’s
Tommy, The Rocky Horror Show and Accomplice, to
name a few, have played to sell-out crowds, extended runs, critical
acclaim and handfuls of nominations and awards for ESP. Todd
is the current President of Elden Street Players and has been
appointed Artistic Director beginning with the 2005-2006 season.
