Gian Carlo Menotti's The Old Maid and the Thief
Directed by Janice Dickensheets
Perceived morality gets turned on its head when the upright (and uptight) spinster is willing to go to any length to keep the wandering young vagabond who showed up on her doorstep in her house. After Amahl and the Night Visitors, one of Menotti's most beloved and frequently-performed operas!
