CHARLEY’S AUNT:  VICTORIAN COMEDY AT GROSSMONT COLLEGE

May 1, 2009 (El Cajon)--The Grossmont College Theatre Arts Department will present “Charley’s Aunt,” the classic stage farce about a disguise that doesn’t turn out as planned, on May 7-9 and 13-16 at 7:30 p.m. and on Saturday, May 9 and 16 at 2 p.m. at the Stagehouse Theatre, located on the college campus, near Parking Lot #1 and the exterior Aztec wall mural.

The play, first performed in London in 1892, is the story of Charley, who sets out to introduce his wealthy aunt from Brazil to his girl friend.

Jordan, Grossmont College Theatre Arts professor.
