They invite the ladies to lunch with Charley&#8217;s wealthy aunt from Brazil, \u201cwhere the nuts come from,\u201d calculating that she can act as a chaperone and allow them to finally pop the question. When she is delayed and won\u2019t make it in time, they persuade their chum Fancourt \u201cBabbs\u201d Babberley to don a dress and become Charley\u2019s \u201caunt\u201d so that their important get-together can proceed. Nothing says comedy like a man in a dress, and\u00a0<em>Charley&#8217;s Aunt<\/em>\u00a0is the archetypal man-in-a-dress comedy. Then the real aunt arrives and any semblance of sanity disappears \u2013 but the hilarity continues till there\u2019s a happy ending for all.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets at the door are $7 adults\/$5 students and senior citizens.
