A fresh comedy about love, the power of a good joke, and the virtues of a really clean house! Matilde, a Brazilian housekeeper, is keen to stretch her funny bone, but can't muster any elbow grease for her domestic duties. Her employers' house isn't in order, and neither are their personal lives.

When three gods come to earth in search of a thoroughly good person, they encounter Shen Teh, a goodhearted but penniless woman of the night, who offers them shelter.

Clark Youth Theatre 2009-2010 Season

Clark Youth Theatre's 2009-2010 season travels through time and space, telling stories that go back in history and circle the globe. Come and experience: a centuries old love story set in a mythical forest; a classic drama retelling one of the most famous events from America's Colonial past; a musical about the Wild West's greatest heroine; and a delightful fantasy set in ancient China. Throw in our annual Christmas classic and a special weekend of original works and it's another winning season from Clark Youth Theatre.
