The Pirates revived a 50 year old play, “A Ready Made Family,” by Jay Tobias for the 1983 season. The perfor- mances in the fast-paced, if somewhat predictable, farce delighted both the youthful matinee and the more mature evening audiences. In summary, Agnes Martyn, a widow, met an old sweet- heart, Henry Turner, a widower, and they became en- gaged. Neither told the other of their “dependents” at home. The families, having heard of the big surprise, planned to upset the martimonial applecart by acting their worst before the prospective bride and groom. The result was fits, baby talk, a “barbarous brat,” a klepto- maniac, and a hypocondriac. Thrown in were one neu- rotic aunt, a “talking” portrait and two hysterical black domestics. After merry mayhem broke loose, Agnes and Henry emerged victorious and the families accept- ed the situation, happily. Sterling performances were turned in by the entire cast. Best Actress and Best Actor Awards were presented to Jackie Daly and Ken Leifeld, respectively. The play was directed by Miss Petrina A. Miller LIND'S HOME FURNISHINGS GRAHAM MOTORS.
