The Curious Savage is a heartwarming comedy centered around Mrs. Ethel Savage, her family, several new friends, and a coveted inheritance.

A hilarious chain of events and battle of wills will have audiences laughing and crying as they marvel at the antics of Mrs. Savage and the residences of The Cloisters who try to make things right.

The Curious Savage, a high school and community theater staple for more than 70 years, originally appeared on Broadway in 1950. It was written by John Patrick, who also wrote two Pulitzer Prize winning plays, “The Teahouse of the August Moon” and “Everybody Loves Opal.” With a message of love, loss, and the things that matter most in life, the non-stop fun of The Curious Savage makes this an ideal show for the entire family.
