Enchanted April
By Matthew Barber
Based on the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim 

Enchanted April (light comedy)
May 25 - June 16
Director: Elizabeth Craven
Performance Dates and Times: May 25* (8:00), 26** (8:00), June 1 (8:00), 2 (8:00), 3 (2:00),

The Story: Four Englishwomen break free of their rain-drenched sorrows and oppression to delight in a month at a rented Italian castle, seeking the promise of better times and sunnier outlooks. Barber casts a warm, relaxed spell, guaranteed to bolster even the most sagging spirits. His superior character insight, poignancy and high comedy will keep audiences in thrall to the last moment! This is a superior “feel good” play that doesn’t manipulate or underestimate its audience. Those looking for surprises, redemption and, yes, “enchantment” couldn’t ask for better.   

*Optional pre-show opening night gala, May 25, 7:00 p.m. (add $10) Catered by The Tea Room Cafe
** Post-show Chamber Chat features a free post-show discussion with cast and director.
