Feature: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at Urbandale Community Theatre
by DC Felton - July 09, 2023
Being involved in theatre takes both the audience and those on stage and backstage on a journey with each show. With each show, the journey is different. The best journeys are when the show leaves a little something with you that you carry with you for the rest of your life. One show has taken me on what so far has been a 17-year journey. That show is 'The Drowsy Chaperone.'
