The Wager is a clever comedy by Mark Medoff, the playwright who gave us the highly acclaimed Children of a Lesser God and When You Comin’ Back, Red Ryder?

Free Admission, no reservations.
PG 15: Some material may be inappropriate for children under 15.

The house opens one-half hour before curtain time. Plan to arrive early to assure seating. No one will be admitted after the play begins or seating capacity has been met.
