A LUSTY, MIRTHFUL GIRL-STEALING MUSICAL!…with seven Great Songs!  

Synopsis: Adam, the eldest of seven brothers, goes to town to get a wife. He convinces Milly to marry him that same day. They return to his backwoods home. Only then does she discover he has six brothers – all living in his cabin. Milly sets out to reform the uncouth siblings, who are anxious to get wives of their own. Then after reading about the Roman capture of the Sabine women, Adam develops an inspired solution to his brothers’ loneliness. The show is fun, fast-paced, sometimes raucuous, sometimes sweet, always entertaining.

The performance will be held at The Phoenix Theatre at 545 Morris Alley.  Tickets are $14 for adults; $12 for students and seniors and $10 for children under 12.  For more information or to purchase tickets online visit www.fountainsquareplayers.org.
