NEW MMM SHOW: TOP GUNNERTON FRI, AUG 5th

TOP GUNNERTON: THE MAVERICK WHO LOVED ME

Greetings, dearest diners. Welcome to London, in the year 1815. A simpler, yet brutal, time. A time when ones standing in society meant everything. One was either accepted or shunned. The most powerful individual in the land is the Queen! It is time for her to choose her “diamond” of the season--London’s most incomparable debutante!

The young and accomplished Darlene Gunnerton is a strong contender for that enviable position. However, the competition is cut-throat. Many would like to see Darlene eliminated one way... or another.

At the same time, the crème de la crème of England’s’ Coachmen vie for the chance to convey the season’s “diamond” to all her events. The best Coachmen from around the country will attend Viscount “Viper” Gunnerton’s Carriage School. Only one coachman and his trusty footman will earn the top spot. But their competition is also cut-throat, and these candidates too, may soon be eliminated one way... or another.

Will Darlene be able to achieve her goal and not shame herself or her family?  

When all is said and done, who will be TOPGunnerton??? Find out by attending Murder, Mystery and Mayhem at Petite Violette!  A life may depend on it.

Porgy and Bess, dramatic folk opera in three acts by George Gershwin. Its English libretto was written by DuBose Heyward (with lyrics by Heyward and Ira Gershwin), based on Heyward’s novel Porgy (1925). The opera—which premiered at the Alvin Theatre in New York City on October 10, 1935—is considered to be the first great American opera. It contains many beloved musical numbers, including the arias ‘Summertime’ and ‘I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’. Set in the 1930s in an African-American Charleston neighborhood known as Catfish Row, Porgy and Bess centers on the tragic love story of the cripple beggar Porgy and beautiful Bess, who longs to turn away from her former life as a prostitute and cocaine addict. After a murder, Bess’ abusive partner Crown flees, leaving her at the mercy of a disapproving community and tempted by the seductive drug dealer Sporting Life. Bess strikes up an unlikely relationship with Porgy and gradually finds acceptance on Catfish Row—until a hurricane and the return of Crown change everyone’s lives forever.
