Lie, Cheat and Genuflect at GLTG
The Buckle brothers, Billy and Tom, are in big trouble: Tom’s infallible eye for slow horses has drained away all of Billy’s savings and he has borrowed from loan shark Pizza Face Petrillo, who now wants his money back or else. There’s plenty of money in grandfather Buckle’s will, but these two black sheep are pretty sure they’ll never see any of that. What else to do but dress Billy up as a nun and have him pose as their cousin who is to inherit the entire fortune?
“Lie, Cheat and Genuflect” will run weekends Feb. 26-28 and March 4-13 at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Tickets are $8 for children 12 and under, $13 for students and seniors, and $15 for adults. Call the box office at 440-286-2255 or visit www.geaugatheater.org.
The historic Geauga Theater is located at 101 Water St. Chardon.
