Night Watch

May 7, 2022 @ 8:00 pm


Description
Unable to sleep, Elaine Wheeler paces the living room of her Manhattan townhouse, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears. Her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away for a moment Elaine screams as she sees (or believes she sees) the body of a dead man in the window across the way. The police are called, but find nothing except an empty chair. Elaine's terror grows as shortly thereafter she sees still another body—this time a woman's—but by now the police are skeptical and pay no heed to her frantic pleas. Her husband, claiming that Elaine may be on the verge of a breakdown, calls in a lady psychiatrist, who agrees with his suggestion that Elaine should commit herself to a sanitarium for treatment. From this point on, the plot moves quickly and grippingly as those involved—Elaine's old friend and house guest Blanche; the inquisitive and rather sinister man who lives next door; and the nosy German maid Helga—all contribute to the deepening suspense and mystery of the play as it draws towards its riveting and chilling climax.

'Buy a Seat' Plaque Campaign

With the Potomac Playmakers "Buy a Seat"  campaign, you can name a perpetual seat in the Lee Stine Auditorium for only $125. A commemorative 1.5" x 3" brass plate with a special inscription will be placed on the back of one of the seats in the theatre. We cannot ensure the specific placement of each plaque location, but early donors will be placed in the frontmost rows. Please consider this long lasting gift to show your ongoing support of the Potomac Playmakers. For a tax-deductible donation of $125 you can have your name, the name of a loved one, the name of your organization, or perhaps a memorial acknowledgement of a departed theater lover, displayed on a brass plaque that is mounted on the back of a seat. Show other patrons that you support the Playmakers and the Arts throughout the tri-state region. There are 94 seats available on which to purchase naming rights. Plaques will be placed on seats on a first-come, first-served basis. You are not purchasing the seat for your use during the season, and naming rights do not guarantee that you can sit in that seat when you come to a Playmakers' production. What you do get, in addition to the permanent plaque, is a free 1-year membership in the Potomac Playmakers, which gets you free admission to all of our Stage Door Productions, which are special events outside of the regular season shows.
