League Play Fundraiser June 10!

LuckyStiffCome join the League of Women Voters for a special, private showing of “Lucky Stiff” at the Columbia Entertainment Company.

6:30 PM Social Hour/Reception, Curtain 7:00 PM. 1800 Nelwood Drive (map). Tickets: $25 or 5 for $100. Tickets available at the door, or make reservations at 445-0655.

This murder mystery farce propels a mild-mannered English shoe clerk into a lunatic mix of murdered Atlantic City croupier, his near-sighted jilted  mistress, her hen-pecked brother and several hundred (off-stage) dogs. Witherspoon will inherit six million dollars if he can successfully go on holiday with his uncle, the late departed croupier, in Monte Carlo for a week. If he doesn’t pull it off, the money goes to the Universal Dogs Home of Brooklyn – and if there is one thing in life that Harry hates, it’s dogs! With a tuneful score and a well-oiled plot, plus the ultimate happy ending, Lucky Stiff guarantees hilarity for one and all.
