At 7:30 pm at Schenectady Civic Players, 12 S. Church St.,
Schenectady. Sign-up beginning at 7 pm. Roles for 8 men and 1 woman.<br><br><i>(Performance
dates --- January 29 through February 7, 2016)</i><br><br><br>London,
1879. The prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting
president wants to admit a woman, and their bartender is terrible.
True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful, and has
discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let in a woman
could shake the very foundation of the British Empire. Grab your
safety goggles for some very mad science involving deadly cobras,
irate Irishmen and the occasional airship.<br><br><font size="4">Cast:</font>
