Bone! Don't Miss It!</span></font></h6><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">Directed by Nancy Cates, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Charley’s
Aunt</i> plays on Weathervane Playhouse’s Founders Theater stage from April 4
to 21, 2013.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">In this classic British comedy, two Oxford University
undergraduates are desperate to arrange a double date with their girlfriends.
Jack Chesney is in love with Kitty Verdun and his pal, Charley Wykeham, is in
love with Amy Spettigue. Problem is, it’s 1892 – and no proper Victorian-era
woman will accept a luncheon invitation from a young man unless a proper
chaperone will also be invited.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">To solve their chaperone problem, Jack presents a plan to
Charley: Why not invite Charley’s aunt? She’s a wealthy widow from Brazil
(“where the nuts come from”), and she’s planning to be visiting on the day of
the planned luncheon with Kitty and Amy.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">Charley agrees to invite his Aunt to the luncheon – but then
the fates intervene. Aunt Donna Lucia d’ Alvadorez telegraphs from Brazil that
her trip to England has been delayed by several days.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">Without the aunt, the young lads realize that their
sweethearts simply won’t accept their luncheon invitation. Jack and Charley are
commiserating about their setback when in walks their pal, Lord Fancourt
Babberly, who just happens to be wearing women’s clothing (for his role in an
upcoming theatrical revue).</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">Because desperate times call for desperate measures, the
boys hatch a harebrained scheme to keep their date. When the girls suddenly
arrive, they force their buddy “Babbs” – who’s already dressed as a woman,
anyway! – to play the role of Charley’s indulgently doting aunt from Brazil!</font></span></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-family:Arial"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">From
here, comic confusion reigns supreme in this laugh-out-loud farce! Things get
even more complicated when other characters are thrown headfirst into these
cross-dressing shenanigans. Jack’s father arrives, as does Amy’s father, and
then the hijinks are raised even higher when the “real” Aunt Donna Lucia shows
up, too! Full of mischief, mayhem and merriment, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">Charley’s Aunt</i> proves that the course of true love never runs
smoothly!</font></span></div>
