The Curious Savage is the story of an elderly widow, Mrs. Savage, whose husband has left her $10 million. She intends to give the entire fortune away to people who wish to pursue their “foolish dreams,” but her stepchildren strongly object. To prevent her from doing away with their family’s wealth and ruining their legacy, they have her committed to a sanatorium called The Cloisters, and it is among the gentle residents there that she finds her true family. The Curious Savage is a warm comedy that compares the kindness and loyalty of psychiatric patients with the greed and hostility of so-called “normal people.” It opened in New York on Broadway in 1950 and played 31 performances with star Lillian Gish in the title role.
Consider This is a nonprofit community theater that performs primarily in the round. TLC is a homeschool cooperative with the mission to join together in a Christ-centered community to pursue godly character and academic excellence.
