Change Your Life! One delightful English middle-aged housewife discovers how to do just that in Hedgerow Theatre's hilarious new production of this London and Broadway smash comedy performed by Hedgerow's veteran actress Susan Wefel. Plucky, wisecracking. Shirley is ready for something ... almost anything ... to happen to her. And it does! Due a brief bit of adult humor, this show is not recommended for children.
Tickets $22 Wednesday; $25 all other shows; $3 discount on senior and student tickets; $12 for age 18 & under. |

| | | Directed by Penelope Reed Saturday, June 5, 12, 19 & 26 at 1:30 p.m.
With the cooperation and collaboration of the Rotary Club of Media, Pennsylvania, Hedgerow Theatre will present four Saturday afternoon performances of this new family show written by Penelope Reed, the theatre's Producing Artistic Director and Committee Chair of Media Rotary International Committee.
For years, Producing Artistic Director Penelope Reed nurtured the idea of a play about a young boy who gets lost in Jerusalem (Hebrew word for City of Peace) and the world gets engaged in rescuing him. His experience in the ancient city, his discovery of realities of the city, and the help he receives is the essence of the peace. For the boy it is a true rite of passage. Hedgerow hopes the audience will be inspired to seek good in their own communities as they realize the extraordinary possibilities for growth when people of different backgrounds and cultures come together.
The public is invited to attend. Tickets: $15 for adults, $10 for children. $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Media Rotary to benefit the programs they support. For reservations, call 610-565-4211.
