Ready for a play within a play?

“The Drowsy Chaperone,” a funny 1920s-style musical comedy, will continue this weekend.

The gist of the show revolves around The Man in the Chair, played by James Douglass and takes place in his apartment. He begins talking with the audience about his favorite musicals before putting on a record of his most favorite musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” As the record plays the play begins to take shape in his living room as he narrates and critiques the show.

“This is written for people who like musicals,” Riverland Director Lindsey Duoos Williams said. “If they’ve left feeling better than they did when they walked in, then it makes us feel better.”

The play continues tonight, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, at Frank W. Bridges Theatre. Tickets are $16 and are available through www.riverland.edu/tickets.

Tickets may also be purchased at the Riverland Box Office located in room E107 in the East Building of the Austin campus. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and one hour before performances.
