The Curious Savage at The Hershey Area Playhouse

Encore! is Central PA's premier, award-winning homeschool theatre troupe, and we are thrilled to stage our 3rd annual fall play, The Curious Savage!

The Curious Savage is the story of an elderly widow named Mrs. Savage, whose husband has left her 10 million dollars. She intends to give the entire fortune away to people who wish to pursue their “foolish dreams,” but her stepchildren strongly object. To prevent her from doing away with their family’s wealth and ruining their legacy, they have her committed to a sanatorium called The Cloisters, and it is among the gentle residents there that she finds her true family. The Curious Savage is a warm comedy that compares the kindness and loyalty of psychiatric patients with the greed and hostility of so-called “normal people.
