First produced in 1950, THE CURIOUS SAVAGE is a classic comedy following widow Ethel Savage who is left a large inheritance and has different ideas than her three greedy stepchildren on how to spend it — so they have her committed to a sanatorium.

The quirky residents of The Cloisters will remind the audience that the simple concept of kindness has not been abandoned entirely by a society that seems driven by corruption and greed. 

The talented cast includes Samantha Sadler as Florence, Reagan McGriff as Fairy May, Bryce Herzner as Jeffrey, Evan Maurer as Hannibal, Monica Gutierrez as Mrs. Paddy, Sebastian Carlos as Titus, Amanda Nelson as Lily Belle, Abby Johnson as Samantha, Kaitlyn VanWay as Mrs. Ethel Savage, Eli Fordyce as Dr. Emmett, and Leanne Hays as Miss Willie.

The amazing crew includes Tianna Mayes, Maggie Roundtree, Tina Moghimi, Mikayla Meredith, Ian Hasbrouck, Trinity Kilby, Gabriela Gutierrez, Sarah Morgan, Ashlyn Duggan, Jules Maisch, Emma McGee, and Jennifer Sadler, with Nikki Sinclair, French teacher, directing.

    Wow, woah! What a wonderful bunch! I absolutely cannot wait to go see this beautiful group of young, talented leaders change the stage forever. They certainly will be the face of their generation. They are, if I do say so myself, the pride and joy of Boone County – maybe even all of Kentucky! From their magnificent costumes to their glorious talent, I am truly humbled and honored to be alive at the same time as these stupendous students!
