Charley's Aunt at Hershey Area Playhouse

Hershey Area Playhouse is proud to present the second production of its 2016 season, Charley’s Aunt, an energetic and fast-paced farce that follows two students at Oxford who force their friend and fellow student to pose as an aunt from Brazil.

Written by Brandon Thomas, Charley’s Aunt follows two Victorian-era Oxford students Charley Wykeham and Jack Chesney as they recruit their wealthy playboy friend, Lord Fancourt Babberly, to impersonate Charley's Brazilian aunt, Donna Lucia, to chaperone a double date the pair have planned. Unbeknownst to the trio, Jack's father is after Donna Lucia's fortune, and the real Donna Lucia has come to town incognito to check up on her nephew.

The show is directed by theatre veteran Jeff Cartwright, who most recently directed Lend Me A Tenor and Leading Ladies at the Playhouse.

Tickets are $20 for teens/adults and $15 for kids ages 12 and under. Tickets are available by visiting www.HersheyAreaPlayhouse.com or by calling the Playhouse's box office at 717-533-8525.
