Alice and Margaret know how to party. When they fold recently married Anne into the mix it’s time to celebrate with stories, and they have a doozy.
Enjoy their recounting of their recent hijinks with impoverished and self-proclaimed ladies man, Sir John Falstaff, and his stay in the town of Windsor that was anything but courtly. His attempts at wooing the towns two biggest influencers, and their attempts at keeping him at bay all unfold as Anne takes matchmaking into her own hands in this tale of fun and frivolity in the neighborhood.

WHAT IS A PLAY TEST?
It is a chance for us to add the final theatrical component: an audience. We need an audience to see how the story is perceived before we literally take the show on the road. We call it a PLAY TEST, because we are very much still in creation mode - we will take your responses, your laughter, your singing along, and add that into our finished tour. What might you see? An actor call line or sneak a peek at a script, half costume and half shorts, a lot of adventures, a story, a moment of frantic, a moment of fun, a few songs, and a lot of thanks for your part in what the next phase is.
