Penny Penniworth - One Night Only Benefit Event

A Special Leap Year Performance of "PENNY PENNIWORTH: A Story of Great Good Fortune" to benefit Emerging Artists Theatre New Work Series Spring 2016

This spoof of Dickens, written by Chris Weikel and directed by Mark Finley, PENNY PENNIWORTH is Charles Dickens' "lost" epic as mounted by a short-staffed theatre troupe with Royal Shakespeare Company aspirations. Set in Victorian England, it tells the story of young Penny Penniworth whose childhood love is driven out of town after nearly killing a wealthy businessman. Soon, Penny finds herself penniless, left alone to make her way through a convoluted maze of strange relationships, anonymous benefactors and ultimate justice.

PENNY PENNIWORTH features a cast of four playing a cavalcade of comic characters: Christopher Borg, Jamie Heinlein, Lee Kaplan, and Ellen Reilly.

Monday, February 29th at 7:30 pm *One Night Only*

Tickets are $75 and includes libations plus a special "Penny" cocktail and hors d'oeuvres.
