DANGEROUS DAMSELS! An original melodrama written by Ric and Jeanne Averill for the Apple Valley Farm Theatre in the 1990’s will be revived at the Lawrence Arts Center for two performances only on Friday, September 25th and Saturday, September 26th at 7:30 PM. Tickets are only $10 for adults and $7 for students and seniors. The Apple Valley Melodrama Theatre tradition will come to life including: audience participation (boo the villain, cheer the hero, sigh for the heroine) and beer & popcorn. Sing-A-Longs will start out the evening and Vaudeville Olio acts will follow the two act comedy. Some of Lawrence’s funniest comedians will take to the stage, including Jeanne and Ric Averill, Trish Averill Neuteboom, Laurie and Charles McLane Higginson, Doug Weaver, and Jerry Mitchell. David Stogsdill will play piano and Rachael Mulford will be on drums. Stage Manager Danny Rogovein may even make a rare appearance ON STAGE! The melodrama tells the story of three beautiful and dangerous damsels who rebel against their thespian servitude to an evil theatrical entrepreneur (Ric Averill) and his hench-cowboy (Jerry Mitchell – known to many as Victor Continental). Their plots to kill the villain go awry and put their fate solely in the hands of the audience! Don’t miss this great comedy troupe sharing more than 20 years of melodrama experience with Lawrence, Topeka, Kansas City, Eudora, Oskaloosa, and Tonganoxie once again!
