‘The Curious Savage’ set for April 29-May 2

The University of Tennessee at Martin Vanguard Theatre will present its opening performance of “The Curious Savage,” at 8 p.m., April 29, on the stage in the Student Life Center. Additional performances will be at 8 p.m., April 30, May 1, and 3 p.m., May 2.
In the story, Mrs. Savage has been left $10 million by her late husband and wants to use it to help people who might not be able to realize their hopes and dreams.
Her grown-up stepchildren want to get her money and form a plan to have her committed to a “sanatorium” hoping to “bring her to her senses” and take charge of the millions.
In the sanatorium, Savage meets a collection of social misfits who cannot adjust to life. She and her new found friends lead the stepchildren on a merry chase, enabling Savage to carry out her plans.
