City Park Players begins the second week of its Four Old Broads run tonight. The highly popular production has been selling out, the blend of madcap hijinks and heart delighting audiences in Central Louisiana.

 

Although tonight’s performance is already sold out, there’s time to get tickets for the other performances this weekend.

 

Four Old Broads has been touted as a modern reboot of the Golden Girls. Retired burlesque queen Beatrice Shelton tries to convince her best friend Eaddy Mae Clayton to stop praying and go with her on a Sassy Seniors Cruise through the Caribbean.

 

Things have not been very pleasant at Magnolia Place Assisted Living since Nurse Pat Jones began working there. The newest resident, Imogene Fletcher, is suddenly losing her memory. Maude Jenkins is obsessed with her favorite soap opera and planning her own funeral. Sam Smith, retired Elvis impersonator, keeps trying to bed every woman in the building.

 

Hilarity ensues as Imogene goes undercover and Maude enters the Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Pageant to throw Pat off their trail and solve the mystery of why everyone has gone to the dark side. If they can solve the mystery, they might make it to the cruise ship after all!
