Acacia Theatre Company Presents "Quality Street” by J. M. Barrie

Erin Nicole Eggers directs a tale of wit and wisdom in "Quality Street" by J.M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan.In this comedy, Phoebe tries to rekindle an early love interest with Valentine Brown, but the attempts result in disguise and confusion and only the truth in love will deliver them all. A huge hit in London, "Quality Street" was adapted for film twice and became so popular that a candy company was named after it. Acacia Theatre Company is thrilled to reintroduce this play to Milwaukee, where it has not been produced for decades.

In her youth, "Phoebe of the Ringlets" imagines marrying Valentine Brown, but he enlists and is deployed overseas. Upon his return years later, Valentine is shocked at the sight of Phoebe - older, tired and overworked - which she interprets as rejection. Through a comical series of misunderstandings, Phoebe finds herself impersonating a younger and invented relative, Livvy, to revive Valentine's interest, or perhaps, have her revenge?

The performances will be given in Concordia University Wisconsin’s Todd Wehr Auditorium, 12800 North Lake Shore Drive in Mequon, Wis.
