On Stage This Weekend: "Curious Savage"

The floodgates are about to burst, as several big shows take the stage in two weeks.

But this weekend, there's only one show being offered - and this is the only weekend to see it.

It's The Curious Savage by John Patrick, which is being presented by Company of Dreams Theatre at the Hillside Community Church, which is located on the second floor at 1100 Greenup Avenue (near Game Stop and Arby's) in Ashland, Ky.

Shows are Friday, April 13 and Saturday April 14 at 8 p.m. nightly. Tickets are $5 at the door.

The Curious Savage is an endearing adventure of high comedy, which will leave you with a feeling that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems motivated at times only by greed and honesty.

Mrs. Ethel P. Savage has been left $10 million dollars by her husband and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of the efforts of her grown-up stepchildren to get their hands on it. The stepchildren, knowing that the widow's wealth is now in negotiable securities and seeing they cannot get their hands on it, commit her to a "sanitorium," hoping to bring her to her senses.

But Mrs. Savage is determined to establish a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams. In the sanitorium, she meets various social misfits, men and women who cannot adjust themselves to life, people who need the help that Mrs. Savage can provide.

The directing team is: Director - Jim Maggard; Production Assistance - Sarah Diamond Burroway, Brian Duty, Tish Maynard, Josh Day and Kenny Riffe.
