The Marmion Academy Drama Club will present its spring musical "The Drowsy Chaperone" at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 11, and Saturday, March 12; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 13.

The show will take place in Marmion Academy's Alumni Hall at 1000 Butterfield Road in Aurora. Reserved seating tickets are $10 each and are available at www.marmion.org/drowsy or by calling Maria Thornton at (630) 966-7628.

"The Drowsy Chaperone" is a hilarious comedy within a musical that parodies trends in musical theater via a man watching his favorite 1920s show, "The Drowsy Chaperone," which comes to life in his New York apartment. As the 1920s musical unfolds, the man, played by Marmion Academy senior Sam Kluber, guides the audience through the plot holes and flaws, while at the same time offering information about the actors and world surrounding his favorite show.

The 30-member cast, under the artistic direction of Kristin Voris and vocal direction of Julianne Vickers, consists of students from both Marmion Academy and Rosary High School.
