Lakeland Christian Academy’s drama department will present “Destiny” today, Friday and Saturday. This is a nighttime soap opera farce by Tim Kelly. Plain Peggy Drab, whose nose is a rival to Pinocchio’s, is desperately in love with handsome Rake Carbuncle, but his social dragon of a mother has arranged his marriage to Clover, the snooty heiress. Weary of rejection, Little Peggy sells matches in the street until she has enough money – $1,750,000 – to pay world-famous plastic surgeon Dr. Amour Balducci. As a result of the surgery, Peggy miraculously turns into glamorous Destiny Mink. Balducci marries her and promptly (and conveniently) drops dead. Destiny claws her way to the top of corporate America, wreaking havoc on those who scorned her when she was little Peggy Drab. Madcap complications abound. The play has several zany roles, from a snarling servant to a love-crazed gypsy violinist. Will Destiny ever find her true self? True love? Come and see. Performances are at 7 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the door: adults $6, students and senior citizens $4, and preschoolers are free.LCA is at 1093 S. CR 250E, Winona Lake. For more information, call 574-267-7265.
