World Famous Farce “Charley’s Aunt” Wraps Up Theatre Season

 

Jack Chesney (freshman, Zack Stump) loves Kitty Verdun (senior, Eden Lee) and Charley (junior Daniel Custer) loves Miss Amy Spettigue (senior, Abby Mayer). They invite the ladies to meet Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil. But alas, the millionaire aunt sends word that she will have to defer her visit for a few days. What is to be done? The dear young things must not be compromised no, never! but neither will the youths give up the opportunity of declaring their love.

 

The problem is solved by forcing another Oxford undergraduate Lord Fancourt “Babbs” Babberly (junior Sam Gaines) into a black satin skirt, a lace fichu, a pair of mitts, an old fashioned cap and wig. As Charley's Aunt, this old frump is introduced to the sweethearts, to Jack's father (senior, Michael Woodson) and to Stephen Spettigue (junior, Adam Weber), Miss Spettigue's guardian. Then the real aunt turns up. In the comic confusion which results.  

 

In its many stages and motion picture revivals, this play has reached a wide and eager audience.
