Or is it just the play about an affair that the three are rehearsing? Or perhaps Matthew imagines it all to have something to report to his therapist, Frank, who turns out to be Lisa’s therapist, as well. And then there’s Corey, a waitress and/or Private Eye, and... Confused yet? With more layers than an onion, Private Eyes is a comedy of suspicion in which nothing is ever quite what it seems. PTD Productions will be announcing a new season soon. Top among their considerations for 2007 is Hollywood Arms, by Carol Burnett and her daughter, Carrie Hamilton. It is an autobiographical piece about Burnett’s early life and her relationship with a very unconventional mother and grandmother. It has that “Carol Burnett touch” that people will remember from her television show December 27-30 These two premier Michigan acoustic bands aim to bring a slice of the regional roots music community back to Ypsilanti.
