SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Set in 1879 London, the prestigious Explorers Club members face an imminent crisis: their bartender is nowhere to be found. Well, that and their acting president wants to admit a woman to their distinguished membership of scientists.

The candidate is beautiful, smart and the discoverer of a lost tribe, having brought back a member of the tribe for display. The decision to accept her could shake the foundations of the British Empire and worse, threaten cigars and brandy time at the club! What will the members do at this most difficult crisis in their three-hundred year history?

Why, order more drinks, of course!

Critics say “The Explorers Club” is an inspired, uproarious farce.

Leigh Taylor directs David Chudzynski, Tucker Curtis, Craig MacNab, Melissa Manier, Ted Manier, Mark Moriarty, Thomas Neff, Shelly Overgaard, and Doug Streich.

The Explorers Club will be in the Warner Theatre June 12-28 with performances at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sundays.
