Davidson Community Players Presents The Explorer’s Club
See website for schedule. Presented by Davidson Community Players. London, 1879. The prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman, and their bartender is terrible. True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful, and has discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let in a woman could shake the very foundation of the British Empire, and how do you make such a decision without a decent drink? Grab your safety goggles for some very mad science involving deadly cobras, irate Irishmen and the occasional airship. Recommended ages 12 and up. Adults $28; senior adults (65+) $26; students to age 21 $18. Duke Family Performance Hall, 207 Faculty Dr., Davidson.
