Need a break from everything?  Have traffic snarls, internet news cycles and global political tensions got you longing to get away from it all, and thinking maybe an escape to a simpler time might help, even if only for a couple of hours?  Well, fear not. The Jewish Cultural and Community Center of San Miguel (JC3) has just the thing for you.

Join us as JC3 presents two staged readings of Frederick Lonsdale’s scandalous, hilarious 1926 drawing room comedy, On Approval, on Sunday, March 22 at 4:00 pm and Thursday, March 26 at 7:00 pm.  Leave your concerns at home, and be ready for afternoon or evening of carefree laughter.

As with most English drawing room comedies, plot takes a back seat, supplying just enough story line to support its characters’ antics as members of British nobility and upper classes address social issues of the day through sparkling, witty repartee and sniping at one another.

In On Approval’s scandalous, ahead of its time storyline, George, the cash-depleted Duke of Bristol, sets his sights on the healthy financial reserves of upper class Maria Wislack.  The widowed Mrs. Wislack, however, is being courted by the younger Richard Halton, who has been smitten with Maria for years.  When Richard finally gets up the courage to propose to her, Mrs. Wislack makes a scandalous-for-its-day suggestion of her own.  She will accept his proposal only on the condition that they first go away to her secluded island estate and live together as husband and wife for one month to see how compatible they will be.

Meanwhile, the cash-strapped George, who in turn is adored by the younger, earnest Helen Hayle, manages to convince Maria that he and Helen should accompany her (Maria) and Richard on their stay at the isolated estate.  The four set off for their month-long vacation and, as one might imagine…

Hilarity ensues.

Staged Readings of On Approval will be performed at JC3 (47 Calle Las Moras at Cinco de Mayo) on Sunday, March 22 at 4:00 pm and Thursday, March 26 at 7:00 pm.   Doors open at 3:30 pm on Sunday and 6:30 on pm on Thursday, wine, other drinks and snacks available for purchase.
