Location: Port Tobacco Players Theater- 508 Charles St. La Plata, MD 20646

Alice’s is loving but eccentric, presided over by Grandpa. Alice invites Tony and his parents over for dinner, but they arrive a day early. The chaos that ensues leads Alice to believe she and Tony cannot be married, but it only serves to strengthen his resolve that they can.
Age: This show is best for ages 10 and up as far as attention span goes. Children may not want to sit through it as it might run a little slow to a younger audience. This play has a very nice story line and preteens and up should be able to appreciate it. This is an awesome ladies night or date night idea!
