With a cast of talented performers and a script full of sharp humor, the play promises an evening of pure entertainment.

Members of the cast are also excited about bringing the story to audiences. 鈥淚鈥檓 really proud of what we鈥檝e created,鈥 said Maci Cagle, a junior theatre major, who portrays Fanny in the production. 鈥淭here鈥檚 something really special about the way our characters interact with one another. Rehearsals have been full of energy and growth, and I think audiences are going to love the humor and heart behind the story.鈥
