Charley's Aunt at Muncie Civic Theatre

Muncie Civic Theatre presents Charley's Aunt on the Mainstage Theatre, September 11th-12th, 18th-20th, 24th-26th. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 7:30pm and the Sunday matinee on September 20th is at 2:00pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $7 for college students and younger.

This classic farce of mistaken identity comes to life on Muncie Civic Theatre's Mainstage. Charley and Jack love Amy and Kitty. Amy is about to go away, and Charley thinks he may miss his opportunity to ask for her hand in marriage. Then he discovers that his aunt, a Brazilian woman he doesn't know, is coming for lunch. As is the custom, a chaperone is needed and the aunt can fulfill the role while each man asks his lady to marry him.

Naturally, things don't go quite as planned. Donna Lucia, the aunt, is late, and their friend, Lord Fancourt Babberley ("Babbs") shows up. The guys see no other alternative, so Babbs has to dress up and pretend to be Donna Lucia in order for Jack and Charley to have any shot at winning over the ladies. A wild afternoon of young love, old love, angry uncles, and the story of a not-so-typical aunt ensues in this hilarious classic by Brandon Thomas. Directed by Marty Grubbs.
