The plot is simple: A greedy prospector has discovered oil under the city of Paris. Out of their greed for power and wealth, he and his corporate brothers are scheming to get their hands on that oil, even if it means the destruction of the city. There is only one woman who can save the day, and she will...if she can just find her feather boa! Directed by Jennifer Perry. The show runs Thursday - Saturday, Oct. 14-16, and Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 20-23. All performances begin at 7 p.m. sharp.
