Danny, a bellhop from a nearby hotel, arrives at the Bramson bungalow and quickly insinuates himself into the aged owner’s affections. The owner’s niece firmly believes she hates Dan, but as a matter of fact she is fascinated by him beyond measure. Dan is selfish and self-centered with no feelings and a vast imagination. Is he only acting for his own edification or is he actually a very dangerous psychopath?

Crimes of the Heart

by Beth Henley
directed by Teresa Widner

The Magrath sisters have trouble with men. Lonely Lenny never married, failed singer/actress Meg lost count, and the youngest, Babe, married an abuser—and shot him. Now the sisters reunite at Old Granddaddy’s home in Hazelhurst, Mississippi to face life’s most absurd tragedies. Alone, each woman might call it quits. Together, they’ll have the most hilarious time of their lives.
