FOUR OLD BROADS
Actor’s Theatre Fairborn
March 13-22
[Fairborn]

Meet Beatrice, a former burlesque star with a mouth like a sailor, and her best friend Eaddy, a deeply religious woman who is just trying to keep her dignity intact. Along with their friends at the Magnolia Place Assisted Living facility, they have a major problem: the “Sassy Senior Cruise” is fast approaching, but a dark cloud is hanging over the home.

Between the suspicious “forgetfulness pills” being handed out by the sinister Nurse Pat and the mysterious disappearances of their fellow residents, Beatrice and the gang realize they have a mystery to solve. With the help of a retired Elvis impersonator and a frantic newcomer, these ladies are determined to trade their walkers for wine glasses on the high seas—if they can stay out of the infirmary first! Note: The Performance contains Adult Themes and Strong Language.
