Welcome anyone who wishes to see what this unique book club is all about!
The Theatre-Goers Book Club's May 19 2026 play script review is The Drowsy Chaperone, a musical satire and affectionate parody of the frivolous,jazz-age musical theatre of the 1920s. It is narrated by the "Man in Chair," who provides commentary, context, and witty asides about the musical's actors, music, and tropes. This "Show within a Show" is a five time Tony winner, and loving send-up of the Golden Age Musical, poking fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre.
We are currently searching for a download of the script to place on this page.
The Play will also be presented at the Winder-Barrow Theatre in May and plans will be made for anyone wishing to attend the live afternoon performance followed by dinner.
