Mary Moody Northen Theatre Presents MISALLIANCE, Now thru 2/22

Mary Moody Northen Theatre, the award-winning producing arm of the St. Edward's University theatre training program, continues its 2014-2015 season with George Bernard Shaw's Misalliance, running tonight, February 12 - 22, 2015.

Heiress to her father's underwear fortune, Hypatia is engaged to the perfectly acceptable but astoundingly dull Bently Summerhays. Bored beyond measure, she longs for adventure to fall out of the sky. But what are the odds on a lazy Sunday afternoon in Surrey in 1909? Lucky Hypatia has Shaw on her side, so things are looking up indeed. Peppered with a plane crash, eight proposals, a lone gunman, a Polish woman gymnast and a sound Shavian skewering of love and marriage, this breezy and spirited comedy will leave you laughing, appreciating your intellect and, perhaps, longing for a lemonade on the veranda. Featuring Equity guests Sheila Gordon, David Stahl and Michael Stuart.
