Description:

Lisle Park District is seeking 2 male identifying actors to complete the cast of the warm comedy, "The Curious Savage" to be presented in one performance at a dinner-theatre event on February 8, 2020, at the Lisle Park District Recreation Center.

Play Synopsis
"The Curious Savage," is the story of an elderly widow named Mrs. Savage, whose husband has left her ten million dollars. She intends to give the entire fortune away to people who wish to pursue their "foolish dreams," but her stepchildren strongly object. They have her committed to a sanitorium and it is among the gentle residents there that she finds her true family. "The Curious Savage" is a warm comedy that compares the kindness and loyalty of psychiatric patients with the greed and hostility of so-called "normal people".
