The gods have sentenced Barrymore to this penance for abandoning theater and squandering his talents in the pursuit of fame and greed. Barrymore painfully and humorously disputes these assertions as he examines his life. He chronicles his climb as the finest classical actor of his generation; his rise to movie stardom; his compassionate relationships to his sister Ethel and his brother Lionel; and the explosive debacles of his four marriages. Barrymore’s Ghost serves up great wit, terror, agony and hope, as a truly legendary character explores the truths and deceptions of an extraordinary life. 7:00 pm-3:30 pm 09/02/2017-09/03/2017 154 W Chicago St, Valparaiso, IN 46383, USA 154 W Chicago St, Valparaiso, IN 46383, USA http://nietf.org/show/how-to-eat-like-a-child-other-lessons-in-not-being-a-grown-up-2/ 8:00 pm-3:00 pm 09/02/2017-09/03/2017 4th St Theatre, Chesterton, IN 46304, USA 4th St Theatre, Chesterton, IN 46304, USA http://nietf.org/show/ten-minute-play-festival-2/ An evening of ten minute plays, all world premiers, will be performed at the 4th Street Theater.

Doctor Wangel is a doctor in a small town on the west coast of Norway. He has two daughters by his first marriage, Bolette and Hilde. After the death of his first wife, he married Ellida, who is much younger than he is. She is the daughter of a lighthouse-keeper, and has grown up where the fjord meets the open sea. Ten years earlier Ellida had been engaged to a seaman. After murdering a captain he had to escape, but asked her to wait for him to come back and fetch her. When he returns after all these years to take her away with him, Dr. Wangel realizes that he must give Ellida the freedom to choose between staying with him or going away with the stranger. 8:00 pm-2:00 pm 09/29/2017-10/01/2017 104 Indiana Ave, Valparaiso, IN 46383, USA 104 Indiana Ave, Valparaiso, IN 46383, USA http://nietf.org/show/you-cant-take-it-with-you-2-2/ At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder.

It is a dark and dangerous story full of forbidden love, chilling suspense, blackmailers and backstabbers — figuratively and literally. Made famous by Alfred Hitchcock’s film version starring Grace Kelly, DIAL ‘M’ FOR MURDER is less of a “whodunit,” more of a “will he get away with it,” and tells the story of the cold and calculating Tony Wendice, who plans to carry out the perfect murder but underestimates the power of human error. In a ground floor flat in North West London Margot Wendice and ex-lover Max nervously await the return of her former tennis star husband Tony. Despite the affair being over Tony is all too aware of his wife’s deception and fears that his comfortable life style, made possible by Margot’s small inheritance, is in jeopardy. Should he kill them both or is there a better solution? Over the course of a year Tony has painstakingly planned the perfect murder. Bribing petty criminal Captain Lesgate into carrying out the deed he sets out to create a water-tight alibi for himself. But can the perfect murder exist in an imperfect world? Audiences will be on the edge of their seats every thrilling moment as Tony’s plot to murder his wife unravels before his eyes. Presented through Special Arrangement with Dramatists Play Service
