Fridays | 8pm

This fall, Bryn Athyn Community Theatre will be presenting a lively rendition of Seventeen. Adapted from the novel by Booth Tarkington, Seventeen is set in midwestern America in the early 1900s. William Silvanus Baxter is seventeen long years of age, and in love with the baby-talking Lola Pratt. His endeavors to court her are thwarted by the existence of other suitors, his overly-frank little sister, and his woes over not having a proper evening suit. A mix of dry humour and tenderness.

Complimentary tea will follow with snacks for sale, and the director will say a few words about her cast and crew. 

Attendees are encouraged to come dressed for a tea party; hats are welcome. Admission: $5 per person, $20 per family.
