Synopsis - For over a decade, Trudy, Judy, and Gladys have been meeting for an annual party…and a murder. The victim is an unwitting romantic interest duped into playing the butler at their soiree. The killers are a trio of middle-aged murderesses with a taste for hot tubs, spiked cocktails, and backyard burials. Plans this year, however, go wildly awry when the lethal ladies unexpectedly experience deeper feelings for their intended prey. What lies ahead? A honeymoon or a homicide? Not your typical reunion comedy by any stretch, the absurdist radio play Happy Times is a flashbacking farce for the ears. Playwright-director Carol Triffle pushes the medium to its limits by layering her Hitchcock-meets-slapstick story with Kyle Delamarter’s demented soundtrack which incorporates everything from ‘60s psychedelics to a flatulent couch to songs that make you want to sing along.
