Drama Dock: The Curious Savage

Drama Dock is pleased to present The Curious Savage. It will open March 13 in the VHS Theatre. It is a sweet and witty comedy set in a mental institution for the rich and famous - the Betty Ford of the Forties.

Cynthia Perkins plays the character of Mrs.Savage, who is being placed in The Cloisters by her stepchildren alarmed by her management of their father’s estate. You know there’s nothing like the squabbles and conniving over inheritances to generate a barrel of laughs...!

Cynthia says, “I really like what this play says about the importance of ‘play’ and how necessary it is to make space for the impractical in our lives. Time for whimsy, foolery and creative expression is not just a luxury, but absolutely vital for making life feel worth living.”

Others in the cast are Kirk Beeler, Alexis Carleton, Sue DeNies, Jeff Jones, Max Lopuszynski, Shannon Mahan, Marjon McDermott, Elise Morrill, and Greg Rocheford. Michael Barker is the director with costumes by Lori Lowrance.

So please come see the show and join in the fun. Playful as it all is, it does take a lot of effort by a lot of people to mount these productions. Your presence helps turn the wheel of creation for all.

The Curious Savage run March 13-15 & 20-22. Friday & Saturday shows begin at 7:30 pm; Sunday matinees are at 2 pm. The stage is the Vashon High School Theater located at 9600 SW 204th ST. Tickets are $15 general and $12 for seniors. You can buy them in advance at Vashon Bookshop or simply purchase them at the door.
