Sherman -- "Come back in time to the decadent roaring twenties, where the champagne flowed and all the world was a party, for the wealthy anyway,” quips the narrator and main character, also known as “Man in Chair” of The Drowsy Chaperone opening June 7 at the Historic Finley Theater in Sherman.

The play follows the story of a musical theatre aficionado who is held up in his NYC loft apartment; on this certain day, he feels ‘blue’ and gets the urge to play his favorite musical theater record from the twenties for the live captive audience, The Drowsy Chaperone. 

Magically, the play comes to life in the man’s apartment; and audience gets front row seats to the story of the famous Janet Van De Graff, and her inner struggle to end a successful theater career for true love. 

Filled with humor, tap dancing, and spectacular singing, the Sherman Community Players’ annual summer musical is promising to be a very hilarious romp through the history of Broadway.

(L-R) Darrah Dunn as “Man in Chair,” Harris Tooley as “Adolpho,” and Lynda Lewis as “The Chaperone.”
