SUMMARY:The Drowsy Chaperone at Greenville University
DESCRIPTION:The Factory Theatre is excited to present The Drowsy Chaperone\, a Tony Award-winning musical that humorously parodies the Golden Age of Broadway with heart\, and high-energy performances.

It’s sweet\, ridiculous\, and very\, very funny. The music is exceptional\, and this cast sounds amazing!” \nEvent Details: \n• Dates: April 4–6 & April 11–13 \n• Showtimes: Fridays & Saturdays at 7:00 PM\, Sundays at 3:00 PM \n• Location: The Factory Theatre\, 400 E.
