Ilion Little Theatre’s The Savage Dilemma Opens Friday

A limited number of tickets are available at the door on a first come basis even if online tickets are sold out.

Friday’s much anticipated debut production of The Savage Dilemma features John Patrick’s sequel to The Curious Savage. Depressed and world-weary after extensive travels, the reputedly wealthy Mrs. Ethel Savage returns to the sheltered precincts of a private country club-like “sanatorium” called The Cloisters, seeking refuge among her former fellow patients.

There are plenty of plot twists as one hilarious event follows another, leading in the end to a heartwarming lesson in the essential goodness that lurks somewhere even in the worst (and sanest) of us. Buy tickets here.
