The 40th anniversary season at TOSAC will begin with the return of TOSAC’s Dinner Theatre and is scheduled for the opening show of “The Curious Savage” on Friday, October 4 at 7:30 p.m. “The Curious Savage” was the very first play staged by the newly-formed TOSAC in 1979

Directed by Cherokee Godwin, “The Curious Savage” is the story of an elderly widow named Mrs. Savage, whose husband has left her $10 million. She intends to give the entire fortune away to people who wish to pursue their “foolish dreams,” but her stepchildren strongly object. 

To prevent her from doing away with their family’s wealth and ruining their legacy, they have her committed to a sanatorium called The Cloisters, and it is among the gentle residents there that she finds her true family. “The Curious Savage” is a warm comedy that compares the kindness and loyalty of psychiatric patients with the greed and hostility of so-called “normal people.” It opened in New York on Broadway in 1950 and played 31 performances with star Lillian Gish in the titular role.
