Playhouse On Park Will Produce the World Premiere of THE BARONESS
Performances run from June 4th-22nd.
THE BARONESS written by Jacque Lamarre will run at Playhouse on Park from June 4th-22nd. This production will be directed by Michael Schiralli. THE BARONESS is a part of Playhouse on Park's 16th Main Stage Season, the theme of which is Reframing the Familiar.
Baroness Elsa Schraeder has arrived at the Von Trapp mansion to seal the deal: her engagement to Austria's most eligible bachelor, Georg Von Trapp. What the Baroness doesn't count on mucking up her plans: a yodeling and curtain-sewing failed nun. Refusing to let a dowdy governess get the better of her, the Baroness takes to her room to plot her revenge, when a certain telegram delivery boy climbs through her window.
Jacques Lamarre is a Hartford area playwright whose work has been seen on various Connecticut stages and around the country. TheaterWorks Hartford has premiered his comedies I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti; Raging Skillet; and Secondo. He is one of the contributing playwrights for their annual holiday tradition Christmas on the Rocks, and he will be represented on their 40th anniversary season with the premiere of Circus Fire.
