ABOUT

Our winter warming special is a play directed by veteran director, Judith Herbig. Written by Emily McClain, Aunt Zelda’s painting,  tells the story of Olive who finds herself saddled with more than she bargained for when she is named executor of her Aunt Zelda's estate. To deal with the clean-out of her aunt's cluttered home, she enlists the help of her ne'er-do-well brother Max, who brings along his less-than-helpful girlfriend Diana, who hires a somewhat-shady pawn shop owner Anthea, who brings her stoner son Zeke. But Aunt Zelda's house proves to be full of more than just doilies and faux antique furniture. When their cleanout uncovers a priceless piece of art, their true natures are revealed....


And somewhere, in all the clutter, lurks a very mean, very hungry, very scary cat.


The play runs from 21 Jul – 5 August (3 weekends, show on Fri, Sat matinee and evening show)
