Davidson Community Players: The Explorers Club

July 28 @ 8:00

Duke Family Performance Hall

London, 1879. The prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman, and their bartender is terrible. True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful, and has discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let in a woman could shake the very foundation of the British Empire, and how do you make such a decision without a decent drink? Grab your safety goggles for some very mad science involving deadly cobras, irate Irishmen and the occasional airship. Additional Performances: Sat, Jul 29th, 2023 at 8:00 p.m.; Sun, Jul 30th, 2023 at 2:00 p.m.
