Arms and the Man
Date:

Join us on July 25th and 26th to see Arms and the Man at Shaw's Corner.
Beautiful young Bulgarian Raina has heroic ideals, betrothed as she is to
Major Sergius Saranoff. Her fiancé is away, fighting alongside her father,
Major Petkoff, in the war against Serbia ... but when escaping Serbian Captain
Bluntschli climbs into her bedroom through the balcony window, she finds
herself hiding him behind the curtains in spite of herself. Does he have
ammunition in his pockets? No … he has chocolate creams, like any other
jobbing soldier. And when she catches Sergius flirting with her maid Louka,
Raina finds her grand notions of love and war slipping away from her, as true
love and honesty take their place.
Please note that the evenings performance is an open-air production. Please bring a low backed seat or floor rug. This ticket to both the reception and the performance is non-refundable unless the show is cancelled due to dangerous weather.
