Be prepared to have fun!  The Drowsy Chaperone is one of the most entertaining 
shows to hit the Broadway stage.  Originally written as a skit for a real life 
bride and groom, the Drowsy Chaperone was expanded to be a silly, yet comical 
farce of an impending marriage in the 1930’s.  It is a show which showcases a 
multitude of comical actors, with every part performing some solo work.  It is 
also a fairly short show, giving a strong cast the opportunity to perfect a 
well-rehearsed performance.  All of the characters, or should I say caricatures 
are the comic relief in the show.  Come one, come all for this exciting 
opportunity and area premier!
