PUTNAM — The Theatre of Northeastern Connecticut at the Bradley Playhouse will open the 2015 Theater Season with Ray Cooney’s hilarious British farce ” Caught in the Net
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30, 31 and Feb, 6, 7, 13 and 14 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 1, 8 and 15.
Tickets are $19 for adults and $15 for seniors and students.
Reservations may be made with a major credit card online at www.thebradleyplayhouse.org or by calling 860-928-7887. T
The TNECT production of Caught in the Net is co-directed by Kathleen Atwood and Scott Guerin. Keith Murphy is the stunt coordinator. Jonathan Demers appears as bigamist taxi driver John and Stanley is played by David Ring. The son, Gavin, is Jacob Solomon and daughter Vicki is Madeleine Hutchins. Carol Alderson and Robin Lofquist play the two wives and Jim Weigel appears as Stanley’s Dad.
“Caught in the Net” is the sequel to Cooney’s equally funny “Run for Your Wife,” but it stands on its own – audiences will not be confused if they missed the first story. As with any Ray Cooney farce, if something can go wrong it will go berserk. Bradley theater goers may remember two of his other shows that were presented at the Playhouse, It Runs in the Family and Out of Order.
Bigamist taxi driver John Smith has been keeping two families in different parts of London, blissfully unaware of each other. Now, however, his son from one marriage and daughter from the other have met on the internet. Intrigued after discovering their fathers are both taxi drivers named John Leonard Smith and the same age, they decide they have to meet. When John finds out about their plan, he enlists his boarder, Stanley, in an elaborate plot to keep them apart. Throw in two confused wives and Stanley’s cantankerous father, who thinks they are on holiday at a guest house, and the situation spirals out of control as John is forced to invent bigger and bigger lies.

Boys’ Wrap-up
Teams pass
season
midpoint
By Ron P. Coderre
As most high school teams roll past the midpoint of the season the postseason picture looks rather bleak for many. In order to qualify for the CIAC Tournament teams must register wins in eight games or 40 percent of their schedule.
Putnam, Tourtellotte, Killingly and Ellis Tech were all winless last week and in jeopardy of not qualifying. Plainfield, which stands at 8-2 halfway through the season, is all set for the post season. Woodstock Academy, with the tournament in its sight, picked up a win in its only game of the week.
The preps are positioning themselves for league postseason. Putnam Science Academy is steamrolling through the competition at 19-2. The Mustangs are keeping an eye on the National Prep school Championships in March. Marianapolis V1 and Pomfret School, both with seven wins, are outside shots at the postseason. Hyde Woodstock is muddling its way through the season at 4-9.
PSA Mustangs Pick Up Easy Win
Putnam Science Academy, the region’s premier team, picked up an easy victory as the Mustangs rolled past Commonwealth Academy, topping the century mark 104-71. Five players hit double digits in the high-scoring affair led by Hamidou Diallo with 22 points and Mamadou Diarra with 21 markers. Point guard Kealen Ives paced the floor games with 13 points while dishing out 14 assists. Andrew Robinson had 16 points with four coming from beyond the three point arc. The “Igniter” Josh Wallace had 11 points off the bench.
Pomfret School, led by Cam Winston’s 18 points, picked up a 55-50 win at home over Groton School. Gerald Blount added 11 for the 7-4 Griffins.
Hyde-Woodstock spit two games over the week, beating Providence Country Day 58-52 and losing to Lee Academy 47-38. The Wolfpack scoring came from three players, Eamon Joyce Jr. who was game high scorer with 33 points and Dexter Thompson with 17 and Damon Gomes with eight. In the loss to Lee, Gomes was the lone Hyde player in double digits, as the Wolfpack dropped to 4-9 on the season.
Marianapolis V1 unit suffered through a disappointing two-game stretch, getting crushed by Cushing Academy 83-49 and losing to Tilton Academy 75-58. The Golden Knights V2 team picked up a 74-57 victory over Oxford Academy. Four players were in double figures, led by Ryan Hourihan with 19 points, followed by Justin Kunkel (16), Andrew Ford (15) and Matt Sabacinski (14).

Plainfield High School boasting an 8-2 record bulldozed its way over winless Tourtellotte 63-42 in the Tigers Den. The Panthers were paced by game high scorer Steve Jankowski with 28 points. Liam Jacobs added 11 in the victory.
Tourtellotte continued its losing ways as it was also beaten by Wheeler 66-30 and St. Bernard 57-37. The Tigers are 0-10 on the season and 0-4 in the Eastern Connecticut Conference Small Division.
