Ogema Town Hall
Fri. 7 p.m.; Sat. 7 p.m. & Sun. 2:00 p.m.  A farce-comedy in three acts by Felicia Metcalfe. Synopsis:  Mrs. Laura Morton considers her father frail, feeble and very fragile. When Jim Mahoney, one of Grandpa's old friends, plans a dinner party for all of their old buddies, they devise a plan to get Grandpa out of the house without upsetting Laura...they decide not to tell her. Unfortunately, all of Grandpa's clothes are in storage so they steal some of his grandson's clothes and sneak out of the house. A nosy old maid across the street sees them and calls Laura, who scoffs at the idea, saying her father is asleep on the couch. When Laura discovers her housekeeper cuddled up on the couch, she calls the police and assumes Grandpa is either lost or worse yet, kidnapped. While the detective, a regular "human bloodhound," and the family are out looking for Grandpa, Jim and Grandpa slip into the house with mysterious bandages wrapped around their heads and lots of explaining to do.   Advance ticket prices:  $6.00; tickets are $1.00 more at the door. Adv. tickets are available at the Prentice IGA and Ogema area businesses.
