Charley’s Aunt Promises Laughter at Factory Theatre, April 8-12 Greenville, IL—The Greenville College Factory Theatre has chosen Charley’s Aunt by Brandon Thomas for the spring play, which opens next week, April 8-12.


Charley's AuntSet in Oxford, England, in the late 1800’s, Charley’s Aunt is a wacky comedy which involves mistaken identities, long-lost loves, and plenty of high-spirited confusion and fun.

Jack is madly in love with Kitty. Charley is hopelessly enamored of Amy. When the two Oxford students find themselves without the required chaperone to entertain the two young ladies, they dress their reluctant classmate as Charley’s aunt from Brazil, “where the nuts come from,” to chaperone the rendezvous. The unexpected arrival of Charley’s real aunt results in chaos and side-splitting laughter.

In addition to high speed energy and precision timing by the actors, the show also features three different elaborate sets and gorgeous Victorian costumes. Suitable for ages seven to seventy, Charley’s Aunt is certain to delight the entire family.

The Factory Theatre is located in the Kelsey Building on Harris Avenue in Greenville, Illinois. Show times are April 8-12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available for $6 at Watson’s Drugstore and Family Christian Stores.
