The Primghar Community Playhouse is excited to bring “Four Old Broads” by Leslie Kimbell to the Primghar stage as we begin our 45th season!!
Retired burlesque queen Beatrice Shelton desperately needs a vacation! A Sassy Seniors Cruise through the Caribbean may be just the ticket if she can just convince her best friend, Eaddy Mae Clayton, to go with her. Unfortunately, things have not been very pleasant at Magnolia Place Assisted Living since Nurse Pat Jones began working there. The newest resident, Imogene Fletcher, is suddenly losing her memory. Maude Jenkins is obsessed with her favorite soap opera and planning her own funeral. Sam Smith, retired Elvis impersonator, goes after every woman in the building. A mystery unfolds with laughter as the gals try to outsmart the evil Nurse Pat Jones and figure out why so many residents have been moved to “the dark side,” what exactly IS that mysterious pill, and what happened to Doctor Head? Hilarity ensues as Imogene goes undercover and Maude enters the Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Pageant to throw Pat off their trail. If they can solve the mystery, they may make it to the cruise ship after all.
We are so happy to have Paige Ginger from Primghar directing the performance. We have an all-star cast!! We welcome back some familiar faces to the PCP stage and are proud to add some new ones. This year’s cast includes Leah Puhrmann and Delaine Krager from Paullina, Sean Lane, Aimee Jenness and Jennifer Chambers from Primghar, Jessie Huitink from Hospers, Amanda Van Otterloo from Sheldon and Daina Howrey from Granville.
Production dates are April 19, 20, and 21. Four Old Broads is laugh-out-loud hysterical with a whole lot of heart.” You will not want to miss it!
