▲ 4 Mame is the story about the free-spirited, fun-loving Manic Dennis (Katrina Ross), an eccentric but lovable lady who is utterly devoted to her nephew Patrick (Susanna Ross). Mame and Patrick meet for the first time in Marne’s Beckman Place apartment in New York City. Mame suddenly realizes she knows nothing about young boys, so she enlists the help of Patrick’s nanny, Agnes Gooch (Mary Hance), and the famous stage actress Vera Charles (Heidi Huber). Because of this assortment of people brought together to look after Patrick, Patrick’s trustee Dwight Babcock (Doug Sievers) removes Patrick from Marne’s custody to receive a proper education — away from Mame. Upon assuming a series of jobs to keep herself busy and to support herself, Mame meets and marries Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside (Scott Hines), who, on their honeymoon, dies when he falls off the Matterhorn. When she returns to Beckman Place, her good friend M. Lindsey Woolsey (Mike Mclanson), a publisher, persuades her to publish her memoirs. A now grown Patrick (Rob Bennett) has met a girl and makes arrangements for the two of them to meet her parents. Mame makes a disaster of everything, but Patrick meets Pegeen Ryan (Jami Lamb). They marry and have a son, Peter (Rachel Purcell). Mame begins nurturing him just as she did Patrick a generation before. Director Tim McGlynn was very pleased with the finished product.
