Lamplighters Present the Musical Spoof UPSIDE-DOWNTON ABBEY, 11/10 & 11/24
By: Courtnie Mele
Lamplighters Music Theatre will spoof the award-winning British television series Downton Abbey in their much-anticipated Annual Gala this season. Titled Upside-Downton Abbey, or, The Lass that Loved a Chauffeur, the show will feature familiar characters and plot themes from the TV series but with a whole host of comic twists. This full-length original parody, set to the music of Sir Arthur Sullivan and others, is a unique event and a guaranteed afternoon of hilarity.
In addition to performing in a new San Francisco venue (Palace of Fine Arts), the Lamplighters will bring this annual fundraiser to the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts for the first time this season. The event also features a silent auction (San Francisco only), raffle, and a champagne reception with the costumed cast and crew after the performance - audience members are encouraged to join in the spirit and attend in costume!Stage Director: Phil Lowery
