THE CURIOUS SAVAGE
BY JOHN PATRICK

Rehearsals are underway for “The Curious Savage.” The recently widowed Ethel Savage is too irresponsible with the large inheritance her husband left her– or so  the grown step-children think. In order to contain Mrs. Savage’s spending habits, Titus, Samuel and Lillybelle Savage decide their step-mother needs to be in a place where she won’t be able to display her eccentric behavior. However, in the “Cloisters” eccentric behavior is the norm. This charming comedy will offer a fun time for the whole family
