“We wanted something that felt really celebratory for the 125-year anniversary celebrations,” Brooke Kiener, theatre professor and director of The Drowsy Chaperone, says. “If you love a laugh-a-minute comedy, a hummable tune, and a good kick-line, this is the show for you. Also, we’ll be landing an airplane on the stage for the finale.”
The Drowsy Chaperone is a musical-within-a-musical and a Tony-award-winning parody of 1920s musical comedies. Full of mistaken identities, comedic characters, and energetic dance numbers, The Drowsy Chaperone celebrates the value of entertainment in our lives.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private liberal arts university affiliated with the Presbyterian church. The university, which has an enrollment of 3,000 students, offers 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
