We Found Love and an Exquisite
Set of Porcelain Figurines
Aboard the SS Farndale Avenue

by David McGillravey and Walter Zerlin, Jr.
The Farndale Ladies are back!! Flushed by their “successes,” the stalwart veterans of the Dramatic Society are poised to conquer yet another dramatic idiom: their current production sails the luxury ocean liner SS Farndale Avenue into the world of thirties musical comedy. The ladies prove that the age of elegance, glamour and enchantment is not dead…well, not quite. Circumstances almost beyond their control threaten to wreck the evening’s entertainment, but the ladies and Gordon, in true Farndale form, soar above such mundane matters to present some catchy numbers and a stunning underwater sequence!
Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m., Sun. 3 p.m.
