IEEE Summer Social Event at the Ohio Light Opera, College of Wooster,
1189 Beall Ave, Wooster, Ohio.
- Dinner at the Smithville Inn, 109 W. Main St., Smithville, Ohio at a time TBA.
- 8 pm - The Ohio Light Opera presents Jerome Kern's The Cabaret Girl, a musical comedy in
3 acts. Marilynn Morgan, a chorus girl, comes to the shop of music publishers Gripps and Gravvins to audition for the cabaret that the firm is staging. She is sought in marriage by James Paradene, whose father has willed him a fortune, provided that his choice of bride meets with the approval - and it certainly doesn't - of his aunt, the Marchioness. As part of a concocted scheme to impress her, Gripps borrows Gravvins' estate and invites all the neighboring elite to a swank party for James and Marilynn. When it is discovered that all the neighbors are out of town, Gripps rushes to enlist his cabaret troupe to impersonate the local notables. Gripps himself impersonates the vicar, the entire hoax exposed only when the real vicar appears. It remains for Marilynn's Hawaiian routine at the cabaret to convince the Marchioness that she and James are, indeed, meant for each other.
- Reservations: Contact Rick Buchanan at r.buchanan@ieee.org to reserve your seats.
