DOWAGIAC — Southwest Michigan College’s theater department present “Charley’s Aunt.”
Tickets can be purchased from the Box Office at 800-456-8675, ext. 1280.
This comedic masterpiece features love, mistaken identity and men in skirts. Jack and Charles invite their girlfriends to Oxford – properly chaperoned, of course, by Charley’s wealthy aunt.
When the aunt’s arrival is delayed, it looks like the romantic rendezvous is off, so an emergency aunt is called in.
In their desperation, the boys enlist their eccentric friend, Lord Fancourt Babberly as the man for the job.
While the impostor-aunt starts to play fast and loose with his part, the real-aunt is getting closer, and it isn’t long before the misunderstandings and misdemeanors are spiraling out of control in this raucous and rollicking farce.
The performance schedule for this year also includes a fall band concert at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 4. The concert features an evening of instrumental favorites with the SMC Symphonic Band, Brass Band, and Jazz Ensemble.
A fall chorul concert is at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11 and will present a variety of classical, pop, jazz and folk choral music, the harmonious sounds of SMC Select Voices, Men’s Ensemble, Concert Choir and Evening Chorale.
