A Grand Medley of Entertainments

November 23, 2009 7:30 PM

Owen Murdock’s company gamely tries to present a Grand Medley -- an 18^th-century traveling show! There should be amazing feats, strange beasts, and fast-paced hilarity, but things aren’t going well for the company. Their misfortunes provide a comedy of errors for the entire family to enjoy.

A colonial entertainment of such mirth, even Colonel Washington would have laughed!

Additional ticket required - $12 adults, $6 for children under 6.
