and here's what you missed:   Annual Comedy Outing

Maureen O’Brien and Stevi Cannon are back as the irrepressible and irreverent DRENCH AND LAUNDERS  for their 2018 Comedy Outing.

Not to be confused with those outstanding British Comediennes Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders nor their long-running tv show French & Saunders, our local lady jesters are no amateurs when it comes to amateur theatre!

The duo have been performing together in a variety of productions – written and produced by O’Brien – for the past decade.

 Audiences can expect their comedy serving to be tasty with a hint of spice; zesty with a sting in the tail; often spontaneous; never bland; with subtle undertones and quirky overtones. No alcohol is used in the preparation.  Mostly. 

The Annual Outing combines comedic sketches and songs with a splash of video.  This year’s Outing includes a couple of surprise guests. [No, sorry, Dawn and Jen  couldn’t make it this year!]
