The Lamp Post Creative Learning Center will present the over-the-top comedy melodrama “Peril on the High Seas” in mid-April, featuring a cast of local adults, many of whom appeared in previous productions of “Matilda” and “Arsenic and Old Lace.”
Performances are scheduled for April 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 7 p.m., with matinees at 2 p.m. April 18 and 25. Nicholaus and Corinne Sandner said the show is set aboard a 1920s-era cruise ship and populated with larger-than-life characters evoking the golden age of Hollywood, including flappers, faded starlets, a jazzy femme fatale, a mustached villain, a New York cop and a flirtatious ship captain.
Audience members are encouraged to participate in the performance by booing the villains and cheering for the hero during the interactive production.
