Event
Staged Reading of Auntie Mame
In the late 1920s, young Patrick Dennis is sent to New York to live with an aunt he has never met -- Mame Dennis, a fast-living, sharp and decidedly eccentric woman beset by both the fads and fashions of the day and the money and social connections with which to indulge them. Mame runs riot through the Roaring Twenties, survives the hysteria of the Depression and along the way gets involved in theatrical performances, fox hunts, Southern country society, a wealthy husband, an Irish poet, a college lover, and most famously her beloved nephew's unfortunate engagement to the shallow and snobbish Gloria Upson. Each comic disaster is more memorable than the last, and Mame herself lingers in the mind as an inspiration to live! Live! LIVE! life to the fullest no matter the consequences. After all, life is a banquet and more poor suckers are starving to death!
