The Explorers Club
Yet another incredible show is opening at the Topeka Civic Theatre! Nell Benjamin’s The Explorers Club transports us to London, 1879. The Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman and their bartender is terrible. True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful and has discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let in a woman could shake the very foundation of the British Empire, and how do you make such a decision without a decent drink?
Don’t miss this show running May 31st to June 15th!
