The Curious Savage

Written by John Patrick and directed by Lance Christiansen. Opening our 2025-26 season with this charming and heartfelt classic!

When Ethel Savage's late husband leaves her a small fortune, she decides to make the best of it, establishing a fund to support various dreamers with whimsical aspirations. But her three greedy step children – a socialite, a senator and a judge – commit her to a mental institution, hoping to "bring her to her senses." This bittersweet story celebrates whimsy and skewers notions of "sanity" with warmth, humor and dignity. First produced by Footlighters 72 years ago, this production marks our 80th season in Redlands.
