"Enchanted April" is a glowing success at Wheaton Drama

“Enchanted April”, written by Matthew Barber from the novel by Elizabeth Von Arnim, continues its run at Wheaton Drama, playing again this Thursday. Patrons offered reviews after enjoying the show, describing “Enchanted April” as “fantastic” and “being swept away to Italy for the night”. Full of playful quips and delightful interactions, “Enchanted April” has something to offer for every taste.

Set in the 1920s in a secluded Italian village, the show follows four women who become unlikely travel companions on an impromptu holiday. In pursuit of rediscovering hope and love, the women find rejuvenation amidst tranquil beauty.

Led by veteran director Marge Uhlarik-Boller assisted by Kate Quan, the cast includes Dave Amato, Anna Amodio, Julie Rogers-Baker, Lisa Schmela, Steve Schroeder, JoAnn Smith, Lars Timpa, and Leah Rae Witt. The entire creative team and cast should be commended for strong performances and their collective ability to bring the villa to life. Join them as they go, in the words of the show, “À l’Italia!”. To Italy!

“Enchanted April” will continue at Wheaton Drama for two more weekends, April 2nd through April 12th, Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 3pm. Please note: there is no performance scheduled for Sunday, April 5th. All performances will take place at Wheaton Drama’s Playhouse 111, located at 111 N. Hale Street in downtown Wheaton.
