Sunny Side Up Play Comes to PGHS Stage
Thursday, March 31 and Friday, April 1, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in HS Auditorium.
Sammy Sunnyside, world-renowned comedian, wants to retire and give his famous joke chest to the most deserving of his relatives. Sammy and his shy but trusted attorney, Dagwood, dress themselves as kindly old ladies and show up at Sammy’s birthday party attended by lots of other relatives and uninvited guests. In disguise, they hope to find out who really wants to carry on the comical tradition or who just wants his gold mine to sell off.
Everything gets scrambled when a washed –up comedy team hired by the conniving cousins accidently kidnaps the wrong person. In a hilarious series of setbacks and misadventures, the team continues to kidnap people in hopes of getting right. A host of other zany characters make this play a riot!
Congratulations to PIAA State Runner Up Swimmers
