The Drowsy Chaperone

Feb. 1 - 11, 2012
Fred Thury Studio Theatre, 258 Vanier College

With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favourite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

We invite you to the most memorable, if not the best play festival you’ll ever see. You will not want to miss this March’s new imagining of this VCP classic.
