About the show
Based on “Fleeting Moment” by House, White, Shearman, Mark Blankenfield, Brandie Kemp & Mitchell Kreindel
In a desperate attempt to save their bankrupt “School for Unusual Children”, an inexperienced PTA group valiantly mounts an ambitious benefit play, written by a has been Broadway director. His near hysterical direction and the group’s questionable talent turn the production into a shambles. The scenes shift back and forth from the real tribulations of the performers to the play they are “performing”, and it is hard to tell which is sillier.
This is fast and furious theatrical fun of the first order, with us watching the fun from the “back” of the stage!
Take advantage of our optional Sunday Brunch, exclusively for the Sunday Matinee performances!
For only an additional $16 per person, enjoy a lovely buffet brunch from Haywoods On The Green that includes drink specials on Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas from the Stage Right Bar! (for those 21 and over).
Brunch is served at 1:00pm in the Courtyard! Must reserve in advanced!
