Barbara Trehar, center, is the always-confused hostess Mrs. Tottendale. Dominic Bell, left, is the bumbling best man George, while Frank Baker of Zelienople plays the dutiful servant Underling in the Red Barn Players production of “The Drowsy Chaperone.” The musical comedy opens Friday.

FRANKLIN TWP, Beaver County — Audiences will take a trip back to the Jazz Age with show-stopping tunes and dance numbers when the Red Barn Players present the Tony Award-winning musical comedy, “The Drowsy Chaperone.”

Performances are set for 8 p.m. July 5-6, 11-13 and 18-20 at the Red Barn Theatre on Route 288.

The setting is the apartment of the show’s narrator, known only as the Man in the Chair. When he puts on his favorite record, a recording of the fictitious 1928 musical “The Drowsy Chaperone,” the show comes to life on stage.

Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theater producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan, and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

The cast includes Frank Baker of Zelienople along with Tom Bickert, David Cary, Barbara Trehar, Zachary Malinak, Dominic Bell, Valerie Boyce, Xander Boots, Annabella Danko, Ernesto Mario Sanchez, DeeDee Evans, Jennifer Phipps Kopach, Hopi Myers-Arrigoni, and Travis Myers-Arrigoni.

Rounding out the cast are Savannah Danko of Zelienople and Larry and Patty Stevens of Middlesex Township, among others.

The show is directed by Jessica Patterson-Galayda and J. Daniel Craig, with music direction by Austin Cornelius and choreography by Bets Danko.
