Alcove - Four Old Broads
About the Production If The Golden Girls was rebooted today, it would look much like Four Old Broads! Retired burlesque queen Beatrice Shelton desperately needs a vacation ? and NOT another trip up to that ''precious little German village for the umpteenth time.'' A Sassy Seniors Cruise may be just the ticket. Can she convince her best friend, Eaddy Mae Clayton, to stop praying and go with her? Unfortunately, things have not been very pleasant at Magnolia Place Assisted Living since Nurse Pat Jones began working there. The newest resident, Imogene Fletcher, is suddenly losing her memory. Maude Jenkins is obsessed with her favorite soap opera and planning her own funeral. Sam Smith, retired Elvis impersonator, keeps trying to seduce every woman in the building. A mystery unfolds with laughter as the gals try to outsmart the evil Nurse Pat Jones and figure out why so many residents have been moved to ''the dark side,'' what exactly IS that mysterious pill, and what happened to Doctor Head? Hilarity ensues as Imogene goes undercover and Maude enters the Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Pageant to throw Pat off their trail. If they can solve the mystery, they may make it to the cruise ship after all.
MVNU Music Ensembles

The choirs reach back in time to perform one of the most inspirational songs by Twila Paris ? ?Lamb of God.? With our Easter celebrations still fresh on our minds and hearts, the stylings of renown composer/arranger Jay Rouse provide poignant interpretations of the moving lyrics culminating with ?O wash me in His precious blood, My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.?
