‘Lavender and Lunatics’ on MACHS stage Friday, Saturday

The Mount Ayr Community High School Drama Department will present its fall production, “Lavender and Lunatics,” Friday, November 22 and Saturday, November 23 at 7 p.m. in the MACHS auditorium. Admission is $5. A pie auction will be held during intermission.

Lorelei Lavender is staging a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” but unknown to her, a couple of would-be bank robbers are hiding out in her theatre and have become part of the cast. On top of that she has to deal with backstage drama, divorced movie stars, loan payments, and a tough-guy cop who keeps stopping rehearsals.
