The newest farce by Copperstate‘s favorite playwright Ray Cooney - writing with his son Michael - is a hilarious story about Tom and his wife who are adopting a baby. It should be the happiest day of their lives! If only Tom‘s brothers, Dick and Harry hadn‘t ‘helped‘! The result of their assistance produces a van load of contraband cigarettes and booze, a dead body and two illegal immigrants! And today is the day that Mrs. Potter from the adoption agency is arriving for their final evaluation! This is classic British farce by the same man who created the Copperstate hits ‘Run For Your Wife‘, Caught in the Net‘ and ‘Funny Money.
The Copperstate Dinner Theater production of Tom, Dick and Harry is directed Copperstate’s Producing Director Peter J. Hill, who the Arizona Republic calls ‘Arizona’s premier Farceur’. It stars Marty Berger, Ross Collins, Jack Dwyer, Susie Dwyer, Sandford Gibbons, Peter J. Hill, Jamie Novotny, Katrina Reyes and Norman Sheriff.
Collins, Dwyer and Hill are virtually the triumvirate of valley farce. Hill and Collins starred in the 9 month long run of the hit comedy ‘Run For Your Wife’, while Hill and Dwyer have appeared together numerous times in ‘Greater Tuna’ and ‘A Tuna Christmas’. Collins and Dwyer had audiences howling when they worked together in ‘The Complete Works of William Shakespeare - Abridged’. Now, for the first time this wild trio appears together in Ray Cooney’s latest farce.

Hello Friends:
Guess what? Ray Cooney is back! Yep, the author of Copperstate favorites like ‘Run For Your Wife‘ and ‘Caught in the Net‘ has written another of his hilarious farces and Copperstate has the Arizona Premier! This time he‘s teamed with his son, Michael to create another wild farce - Tom, Dick and Harry.
Yep, it’s another Arizona Premier! We hope that you’ve come to count on The Copperstate Dinner Theater as your home for the newest Broadway and Off-Broadway comedies and musicals. Over the years we’ve brought you 6 world premier musicals as well as more than a dozen Arizona Premiers! No other valley dinner theater can make that claim! And we’re at it again.
We’re very pleased to present for the first time in Arizona, the newest farce by Copperstate‘s favorite playwright Ray Cooney - writing with his son Michael - Tom, Dick and Harry. Tom, Dick and Harry is a hilarious story about Tom and his wife who are adopting a baby. It should be the happiest day of their lives! If only Tom‘s slacker brothers, Dick and Harry hadn‘t ‘helped‘! The result of their assistance produces a van load of contraband cigarettes and booze, a dead body and two illegal immigrants! And today is the day that Mrs. Potter from the adoption agency is arriving for their final evaluation! Let the lies begin! This is classic British farce by the same man who created the Copperstate hits ‘Run For Your Wife‘, Caught in the Net‘ and ‘Funny Money‘.
I’ll be directing this wild farce. I’m also in the cast playing Harry. My brother Tom is played by Jack Dwyer, who you’ll remember as my partner in Greater Tuna and Tuna Christmas. My brother Dick is played by Ross Collins. You’ll remember Ross as John Smith, the harried taxi drive with two wives from Run For Your Wife. I played the neighbor in that one, so this is ‘old home week’ for the three of us to be playing brothers! Also in the cast are Marty Berger, Susie Dwyer, Sandy Gibbons, Jamie Novotny, Katrina Reyes and Norman Sheriff.
See you at the theater!
Peter Hill
