Mrs. Mannerly at Different Stages Theatre at Santa Cruz Center for Culture

Different Stages continues its 2016 - 2017 season with Jeffrey Hatcher’s Mrs. Mannerly. It is 1967… the Summer of Love. But for five children on the second floor of the YMCA in Steubenville, Ohio it is the Summer of Etiquette as taught by formidable Helen Anderson Kirk, better known as “Mrs. Mannerly.” Jeffrey, now a middle-aged man, takes us back through time to when he was nine years old and determined to be the first pupil in history to score a perfect mark in Mrs. Mannerly’s class. Santa Cruz Center for Culture 1805 East 7th Street Thursdays - Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sunday at 3:00 p.m.
