Templeton Players reach back for rare comedy gems
The Templeton Players – the Farmers’ Museum’s resident theatre troupe – welcomes another summer season of performing rare comedic gems from the mid-late 19th century. All shows are free with museum admission and are performed outdoors (weather permitting) on the Leatherstocking Stage on the tavern green in the museum's historic village!
Each Saturday in July and August, the Players present “Petticoat Perfidy,” first performed in 1885. Mayhem ensues when Mrs. Mountrevor returns home from a journey abroad and decides to throw a lavish party for all her friends -- to which no one shows up. As she and her quick-witted French maid Juliette scramble to make it appear that her drawing room has recently hosted gaggles of socialites, they receive an unexpected visit from an old acquaintance, the pompous Mrs. Norwood-Jones, who brings an unwelcome bit of news with disastrous and hilarious results!
