George M Cohan was a Broadway superstar and referred to as “the man who owned Broadway” and “the father of American musical theatre.” Cohan penned “Seven Keys to Baldpate” in 1913 as "a biting satire of the mystery thriller-a serious comedy!” It was Cohan’s most successful play and was a huge success on and off Broadway, inspiring 7 films. The Baldpate Inn in Colorado (www.baldpateinn.com) was named after the Earl Derr Biggers mystery novel Seven Keys to Baldpate that inspired Cohan to write the play. “an ever-deepening mystery, an eclectic set of engaging characters, sparkling wit, and pure theatrical entertainment of the highest order! (Broadway World, Rhode Island, 2014) A writer goes to a deserted summer resort in the dead of winter. He gets more than he bargained for.” (Samuel French)

“Seven Keys shows Cohan was more than a tap dancer!” (Taproot Theatre, Seattle Times, 2007) LOST will bring this Cohan classic to the stage, with perhaps a few modern updates! All of the 15 actors on stage, who share a love of theatre, will come from the legal profession, including Katie Webber, Stuart Wright (Carfra Lawton), and Benjamin Peterson (Quadra Legal), all taking time from their busy lives to help raise awareness of and support for those most in need in our community.
