Let Brick Memorial Troupe's Musical Comedy Brighten Your Weekend

Come take a flight of the imagination and enjoy a tribute to American musicals of the Jazz Age as the Mustang Players, Brick Memorial High School’s drama club, present ”The Drowsy Chaperone” this weekend.

The musical is a show within a show, where one of the main characters, The Man in Chair, a mousy, agoraphobic Broadway fanatic, gets caught up listening to a recording of a fictional 1928 musical comedy and is transported into the show.

The plot of the show-within-a-show centers on a showgirl who plans to give up her career in order to marry an oil tycoon, a move that the show’s producer tries to stop because there is a lot of money is riding on her name to sell the show. There are pun-happy pastry chefs who are thugs in diguise, mistaken identities, and more.

The show is tonight, Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon in the Brick Memorial High School auditorium. Showtimes are 7 p.m. tonight, Friday night and Saturday night, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Tickets are $10 for students with ID, $12 for adults and can be reserved by sending an email to jberger@brickschools.org.
