This mad-cap comedy is a sure fire classic! Mortimer Brewster has a thing about marriage. That’s why his decision to get hitched is such a big deal. When he visits his two eccentric aunts in their lively rooming house, he discovers a walk down the aisle might not be the only bit of family business he needs to consider. His loony aunts have taken up a new hobby that seems to include helping lonely roomers find the way to their graves. Raising a toast is in the cards for the Brewster clan, but it’s best to pass on a nice glass of elderberry wine!

By Jeffrey Hatcher. A lush new comedy that peeks into the private lives of the most public of figures. Theater legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne welcomed the titans of Broadway and Hollywood – including Noël Coward, Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier – to their secluded Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, retreat. When a young starlet arrives to rehearse the Lunts’ latest production, she unwittingly ignites a romantic triangle that eclipses any on-stage drama. Rep favorite Jeffrey Hatcher (The Government Inspector, Work Song, The Turn of the Screw), has penned a sparkling, witty gem of a play that celebrates a Wisconsin treasure.
