Oak Forest HS Fall Play is a 'Savage' Affair

Oak Forest High School theatre audiences are in for a treat with the new fall play, Curious Savage. Curious Savage will be performed on October 28, 29 and 30.

Curious Savage is the story of a newly rich widow, Mrs. Savage, who has been bequeathed ten million dollars by her husband. Her conniving stepchildren want to get their hands on her money and commit her to a sanitarium so that she will come to her senses. Mrs. Savage meets various social misfits at the sanitarium and realizes that she can help them adjust to normal life. Leading her stepchildren on a merry chase for her money, Mrs. Savage establishes a fund where she supports others to realize their hopes and dreams. The show is very funny and it will be well worth your time when you see it!

Breanne Morrissey plays the lead role of Mrs. Ethel P. Savage.
