Trip: “Run For Your Wife” at Newport Playhouse

Posted on April 1, 2023 by Norwich

Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Theater, Newport, RI

Wednesday, April 26th

9:45 AM Depart Rose City Senior Center  /  6:00 PM Approximate return time to Norwich

 

Start with a delicious, all you can eat, buffet lunch featuring a large selection with all foods freshly prepared onsite.  After lunch, enjoy the hilarious performance of Run For Your Wife.  Following the show, return to your seat in the dining room for dessert, drinks and a fun-filled Cabaret Show!

A taxi driver gets away with having two wives in different areas because of his irregular work schedule.  Complication is piled upon complication as the cabby tries to juggle both wives and keep his double life from exploding.  It doesn’t quite work and that means lots of laughs for us!
