FORT MADISON - Vintage comedy at its best! In order to generate revenue during the pandemic lockdown, Old Fort Players has recorded the performances of several skits fromThe Carol Burnett Show.Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama, they are sponsored by LP Custom Photos and Passionate Heart Creations.

There are four skits to entertain you. First, is “Coffee Commercial” where two gals (Amanda Greenhalge and Dorothy Schulte) just want to have a cup of coffee and a chat and then a TV Producer (Robbie Phillips) shows up.

In “Hospital Nudge” a doctor (Ty Clute) tells his George (Richard Martindale) that he will soon go under the knife. George plans to fight for his life until his wife (Amanda Greenhalge) arrives. The third skit, “Wallflowers” follows two women (Amanda Greenhalge and Dorothy Schulte) – with great personalities – who attend a dance and do their best to deal with the flirtations of a couple of eligible men (Robbie Phillips and Ty Clute).

“Bonnie & Clod” highlights Clod (Richard Martindale) who is feeling low and considering getting an honest job. When his wife (Dorothy Schulte) finds out, she decides he needs a pep talk. (Previously seen on Facebook LIVE, we’ve corrected a few mishaps and improved the audio.)

Last but not least, enjoy some “Out-Takes.” Go behind the scenes of just a few of our screwups and goofs that didn’t quite make it into the final cut.
