Daddy Long Legs
Event Navigation
Renegade Theater Company presents this play based on the classic novel that inspired the 1955 movie starring Fred Astaire. Performances are Aug. 19-22 and 25-28.
Daddy Long Legs is a beloved tale in the spirit of Jane Austen, the Brontë Sisters and Downton Abbey. The show is directed by Peter Froehlingsdorf and stars Amelia Barr and Jace LeGarde.
Synopsis: Jerusha Abbott is the “Oldest Orphan in the John Grier Home” until a mysterious benefactor decides to send her to college to be educated as a writer. Required to write him a letter once a month, she is never to know the benefactor’s identity — so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs. Although she knows he will never respond to her letters, she grows more and more fond of this elusive and kindly “old” gentleman. Through her correspondence with Daddy Long Legs her emergence as a delightfully independent “New American Woman” is uncovered. Yet, there is one startling fact that Jerusha has yet to uncover — a fact that will change her life forever.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for senior citizens and $16 for students. They are available at zeitgeistarts.com
