John Woods, resident director for the Braithwaite Theatre, directs this fast-paced and hilarious farce written by Craig Alpaugh. Dan Benson is producer for the show.

The laughter starts at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 25, and continues ever y evening through Saturday, Feb. 3, except for Sunday, Jan. 28. The matinee performance on the 28th begins at 2:30.
