Audition Announcement
Charley’s Aunt by Brandon Thomas
Synopsis: Jack loves Kitty and Charley loves Amy. Jack and Charley invite the ladies to meet Charley’s wealthy aunt from Brazil. Cancelling her visit at the last minute sends the boys into cataclysmic confusion because the girls won’t visit without a chaperone! The problem is solved when the boys draft their pal to pose as Charley’s Aunt. When the real aunt turns up, classic comic confusion ensues!
