2013 Theater Event - Saturday, February 9 (click for more)

Posted on 2013-01-01 by mrebuck

Come join us for Shalom House's Annual Theater Event on Saturday, February 9.

This year's show is The Drowsey Chaperone: A musical comedy superstar� a forgetful (but adorable) matron� a tap-dancing leading man� and a tipsy (drowsy) chaperone head up this critically acclaimed musical-comedy that pays tribute to the Jazz-age shows of the 1920s. It all begins when a die-hard musical-theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love. Complete with thrills and surprises, dancing and tons of laughs!

Whitaker Center Theater Seating: 7:45 p.m.

Couple Reception and Show - $150.00
