WINONA LAKE - Lakeland Christian Academy's drama department will present "The Curious Savage" tonight, Friday and Saturday.
This is a comedy in three acts by John Patrick.
Mrs. Savage has been left $10 million by her husband and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of the efforts of her grown-up stepchildren to get their hands on it. The stepchildren, knowing that the widow's wealth is now in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of it, commit her to a sanatorium hoping to bring her to her senses.
But Mrs. Savage is determined to establish a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams.
In the sanatorium she meets various social misfits, men and women who just cannot adjust themselves to life, people who need the help Mrs. Savage can provide. In getting to know them, she realizes that she will find happiness with them and plans to spend the rest of her life as one of them. But when the doctor tells her there is no reason why she should remain, she hesitates to go out into a hard world where people seem ready to do anything for money.
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.
