ANNOUNCEMENTS:
London, 1879. The prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman, and their bartender is terrible. True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful, and has discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let in a woman could shake the very foundation of the British Empire, and how do you make such a decision without a decent drink? Grab your safety goggles for some very mad science involving deadly cobras, irate Irishmen and the occasional airship.
“You don’t have to be British to lose your composure and howl with laughter at THE EXPLORERS CLUB, a witty spoof of all those bold Victorian adventurers who ravaged foreign lands and annihilated indigenous cultures in the name of science.” —Variety.
“In her hijinks-happy cocktail THE EXPLORERS CLUB, Nell Benjamin follows this recipe: To a starchy bunch of science geeks bemoaning the worst barkeep in London, add a plucky adventurer and her discovery, a trouble-making tribesman. Then shake, stir, serve in an eye-catching vessel, and brace for laughter.” —New York Daily News.
We are excited to announce that we partnering with Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama for our Walk-Up Wednesday rehearsal of this production on May 8th! This is an opportunity for folks who can't catch The Explorers Club during the remaining production dates to join us for a brush-up rehearsal between show weekends and also support a local charity. Since we can't charge for tickets to the rehearsal, 100% of donations received at the door will go to the Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama. We try to highlight organizations that have something to do with the themes of the show, and in this case it's women in science and exploration. What better fit could there be than the fabulous work that our local Girl Scouts chapter does to educate young women about a variety of STEM-related topics?!
Join us if you can, help spread the word, and support a great organization!
