Caught in the Net

Ray Cooney’s Caught in the Net features John Smith, a London taxi driver with a secret — well, two actually. He’s a bigamist. So far both his families have remained happily ignorant of each other, but his delicate balancing act is about to be upturned. His daughter from family A has met his son from family B on the Internet, and they’re amazed at how much they have in common. (They’re both named Smith, both have a taxi-driving dad who happens to be named John Smith…hmm, no red flags yet, kids?) The two are eager to meet in person and see what else they share. Smith has to go into overdrive to keep them apart and his secrets intact. 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Bay Area Harbour Playhouse, 3803 Highway #3, Dickinson. For information, call 281-337-7469 or visit www.harbourplayhouse.com. $12 to $17.
