Copperstate Productions announces the return of “Ashes to Ashes” to Fountain Hills Theater.

The hit farce by Peter J. Hill opens Friday, May 18, and runs through June 17.

After a wild weekend binge R.J. Spaulding (played by Hill) wakes up to find himself simultaneously engaged to three women who alternately think is a mob kingpin, a gay activist and a Russian KGB agent. R.J. recruits his neighbor, Bobby (played by Ross Collins), in an escalating series of lies to keep his secrets from the girls, his alimony hungry ex-wife (played by Hills’ real life wife, Noel Irick) and the largest hitman in New Jersey (played by Bill Bennet).

Hill and Collins, while working daily in close collaboration on the theater’s season productions, have not appeared together on stage in more than six years.

Hill directs “Ashes to Ashes.” Other performers include Brooke Arellano, Sarah Brisco and Carolyn Elizabeth Brooker.

Shows are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults and $12 for youth 17 and younger. The production is not recommended for children as it contains adult subject matter and language.

All performances are at Fountain Hills Theater, 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd. Tickets are available through the box office, 480-837-9661, ext. 3, or online at fhtaz.org.
