The box office is now open for the hilarious classic comedy The Curious Savage. The show will run for eight performances beginning Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Hill Country Community Theatre (HCCT) in Cottonwood Shores (4003 FM 2147 West, between Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay). The production runs Thursdays through Sundays, Dec. 5-15th, at 7:30 p.m., with 2:15 p.m. Sunday, matinees.
The Curious Savage is one of the most produced plays in North America and originally starred the great actress, Lillian Gish. Ethel Savage has been left a fortune by her late husband. She is determined to give away millions to help others realize their hopes and dreams. Unfortunately, her stepchildren stand in the way, committing her to a sanatorium where she meets a cast of zany characters. It’s up to the “curious Savage” and her new-found friends to save the day.
The cast includes HCCT regulars Becky Barton as Miss Willie, Misty Daniel as Fairy May; Steve Reily as Jeffery; Francie Dix as Lilly Belle Savage; Larry Grasmick as Judge Samuel; Anson J. Hahn as Hannibal; Ashley Harper-Oberle as Florence; Preston Kirk as Senator Titus Savage; Ronda Dale Kirk as Mrs. Paddy; and Sally Stemac as Ethel Savage.
Debuting on the HCCT is Steve Barton as Dr. Emmett. Mary Ann Savage Fletcher is the Director of the production. Cheryl Rosson is the Stage Manager. Steve Reily also serves as the Scenic and Lighting Designer.
"The Curious Savage is a hilarious comedy in the vein of Harvey or You Can’t Take It With You." said Fletcher. “This is the kind of show you can take the whole family to see. You’ll leave with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart. It is the perfect show for the holiday season.”
“Opening night we will be quite a celebration with a ‘Holiday Gala’ starting at 6:30 pm.” said Reily. “Audience members will be treated to an evening of hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and lots of laughs. We are also honored to have local singer/musician Mandi Whittlesey entertain the audience before the show. This will be a great evening of entertainment.”
Performances will be Thursday through Sunday, beginning with the Gala Opening Dec. 5, and continue through Dec. 15. The curtain for evening shows is at 7:30 p.m.; for Sunday matinees at 2:15 p.m. Admission is $15 for adults and $7 for students age 16 and under. Group rates also are available.
