This year’s musical is The Dastardly Doctor Devereaux is a hysterical musical set in a wacky hospital.
With an abundance of zany patients, wild tunes and a hilarious plot, this musical will keep you in
stitches all night!
Lotta Cash, a wealthy widow, must be on the lookout. The evil Dogsbreath Devereaux, M.D. plans to
marry Lotta so he can inherit her fortune and her late husband’s clinic. Helping him is the nasty nurse,
Hilda Hatchet, whom he promises to wed after he gets rid of Lotta. Wild? Well, talk about medical
mania when the insanely jealous Hilda catches Dogsbreath flirting with our heroine, Wendy March.
We can only hope that Dr. Phil Good, our hero, can save Wendy and the unsuspecting Lotta from certain death. As they say, Nurses! Foiled again!
The Dastardly Doctor Devereaux will be performed
June 4 & 5, 2015 at the Tofield School Alliance Church
Tickets are $8 in advance OR $10 at the door.
Tickets can be purchased in the School Office. See Ms. Korpan for more info!
