The Orange Girls Theatre company wraps up its 2009 season with the journey of a seemingly stereotypical housewife as she attempts to rewrite the story of her life in David Lindsay-Abaire's screwball comedy WONDER OF THE WORLD, presented September 25 through October 11 at COCA's Anheuser-Busch Black Box Theater.

I'll miss the Orange Girls because their choices were consistently engaging and entertaining, and they always featured talented casts in their productions. WONDER OF THE WORLD is no exception, with solid performances given all around.
