The Ladykillers is a dry, yet dark comedy set in London’s King’s Cross revolving around small-time gangsters who plot a bank robbery. The mobsters go undercover as a string quartet renting rooms in kindly, elderly lady Mrs. Wilberforce’s home on a dead-end street.But they do not know what they’ve bargained for when the busybody old lady interferes in their affairs. With only her parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs. Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men.
Our new location: Saint Andrew’s, 19 San Lucas, one block down from the Catholic Church on the lake side of the Carretera in Riberas del Pilar. Look for directional signs. Handicapped parking is available out front and there’s a parking lot across the street. Our theatre is a scent-free location. Door and Bar open at 3:00 pm. All bar proceeds go to Operation Feed. Seats are held till 3:50 pm. We have ‘hearing-assist’ headsets available.

Unspoken

The Lake Chapala Fine Artists Guild is proud to announce that we will be having an exhibition and sale of fine art for the holidays.
