Curio Wants to Take You Into the Summer With A Smile!
Only 2 weekends left to see A Funeral Farce! Join us for a very special and funny play that is close to our hearts here at Curio. The plot provides a very funny look at what is normally considered a grim business: Fasbow’s Funeral Home (probably the worst in the business) has unfortunately booked to funerals for the same day. Compounding the problem is the fact that the two parties have almost identical last names – Mr. Whyte is to get a cremation and Mrs. White is to get a burial. Well, of course the idiots at Fasbows mix up the bodies, cremate the wrong one, and by the time they have sorted it out, cremate the other. Two funerals, now needing burials, and no bodies. Add to this the imminent arrival of the state medical examiner for an inspection, and nothing on this earth will let this day turn out all right. UC REVIEW By Robert Christian Editor and Publisher "The other night my associate publisher and I had a wonderful stress relieving evening at West Philadelphia’s marvelous Curio Theater. It was just what the doctor ordered: a life extending prescription for morticianal avoidance, A Funeral Farce. This play is a classic farce. It’s an original comedy developed by talented Curio company members Paul Kuhn and Jared Reed."
