Two Heads Are Better Than One

Lights! Camera! Action! Art imitates life when a film crew (played by Miranda Wheatley, Carly Schooley, Bob Schlyer, Donna Morrison, and Gates Bartz) invades a small town with grand plans to remake The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by American author Washington Irving. Unfortunately for the Lawrence family (played by Carla, Ella, and Erin Armentrout and Thad Glynn) the action has landed in their living room. The famed director Max Mercedes (Bob Schlyer) needs a place to stay, and the Lawrence home is just right.

Filming is set to begin when the local chapter of the Save Our Bridges Society (played by Cathy Fox, Rick Jagels, and Carol Culver) shows up to block it any way they can. Mayor Noreen Burkslatter (Jennifer Wheatley) warned everyone that bad things would happen. Meanwhile, nosy neighbor Hannah Millways (Chantelle Mumma) and nosy reporter Jacey Brooks (Jara Mumma) add to the mayhem.

Didi Lawrence’s boyfriend, Bubba Muncie (Caleb Skocy), lands a part in the movie and actor Les Powell (Paul Brown) complicates things by falling in love with Assistant Director, Beth Jeffers (Miranda Wheatley.) To make matters worse, aging diva Serena Swan (played by Barb Brooks) demands full attention and more lines! Will the Regional Director of the SOBS (Rhonda Headley) allow filming to proceed? Is everyone who they appear to be? And just what secret is Christina Berelli (Bonnie Teel) hiding?
