Wild Oats Continues Through Saturday

The Wabash College Theater presents Wild Oats - A Romance of the Old 皇冠足球比分_澳门皇冠体育-在线|平台@st, which runs nightly at 8 p.m. through Saturday in Ball Theater in the Fine Arts Center. Tickets are free and can be reserved by email or phoning the box office at 765-361-6411.

Wild Oats is a brilliant, over-the-top rewrite of Irish playwright John O’Keefe’s 1791 farce penned by James McLure in 1985. The audience is swept from Restoration England to the wild, wild Old 皇冠足球比分_澳门皇冠体育-在线|平台@st where mayhem unfolds.

Directed by Professor Dwight Watson, this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy is filled with plenty of mistaken identities, conniving landlords, estranged families, and out-of-work actors.

The story follows the hysterical courtship of the quick-witted and strong-willed Kate Thunder (Felicia Santiago) by the egotistical actor Jack Rover (Larry Savoy). Sleazy preacher Ephraim Smooth (Zach Cannon) schemes to claim Kate’s inheritance, while Colonel Thunder (Chris McCloskey) and his Irish-Indian scout Crow (Joe Mount) arrange for Kate to marry the Colonel's son, Harry (Noah Eppler).

Chris McCloskey in a scene from Wild Oats.In keeping with a good farce, Kate mistakes the smooth-talking thespian Jack for Harry. And Jack — wanting nothing more than to woo Kate — decides he’ll pretend to be Harry.

If that’s not rollicking enough, the play features an Old 皇冠足球比分_澳门皇冠体育-在线|平台@st madam, cactus growers, a damsel in distress, and plenty of desperadoes.

Stage manager Brad Hopper keeps the action moving at a great clip. The Old 皇冠足球比分_澳门皇冠体育-在线|平台@st scene on the Ball Theater stage was designed by James Gross and constructed by students in his scene design course. Andrea Bear went to extremes to costume the show, including her own costume in the role of “Bear.”
