The Curious Savage
by John Patrick
Directed by Nick Cherone
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Friday June 2, 2017 through Sunday June 25, 2017

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

In this entertaining and fanciful comedy, Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of her grown-up stepchildren’s efforts to get their hands on it. Knowing that the widow’s wealth is now in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of the fortune, the stepchildren commit her to a sanatorium hoping to “bring her to her senses.” Her stay there drives her self-seeking stepchildren to distraction. Great for all audiences!

Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.. Performances run weekends from Friday June 2, 2017 through Sunday June 25, 2017 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission.

Shakespeare’s Women in Their Own Words
Adapted from the works of William Shakespeare

From women’s eyes this doctrine I derive:
They are the ground, the books, the academes
From whence doth spring the true Promethean fire.

Though the men take the title, the women oft steal the show. From Beatrice’s sharp wit to Juliet’s broken heart, the fairer sex have just as much to say as their male counterparts. Adapted from the works of William Shakespeare, this new piece laces together the voices of Shakespeare’s most memorable women.

Ticket prices: $22 General Admission, $20 Students/Seniors/Military, $12 Youth (12 and under with adult). Buy tickets here.
