Join the Final Act Ensemble (FAE) for old-time fun this holiday season.
In “Easy Aces,” Ace tries to get his mother-in-law married off and out of the house. Next, Fibber McGee and Molly find a derelict jalopy in their front yard! In “The Life of Riley,” our hero thinks his mother-in-law is going to take over the house at Christmas time. The evening ends with O. Henry’s classic tale of “The Gift of the Magi.” All this plus holiday songs, live sound effects, announcer banter, and one crazy commercial!
The Final Act Ensemble is a troupe of performers ages 60 and older that present classic and original radio plays, including commercials and live and recorded sound effects.
Ages: The Playhouse does not rate subject matter as sensitivities vary from person to person. If you have questions about content, age appropriateness, or other aspects of the show (ie strobe lights and other theatrical effects), please contact the ticket office at 515.277.6261.
