When Ethel Savage's late husband leaves her a small fortune, she decides to make the best of it, establishing a fund to support various dreamers with whimsical aspirations. But her three greedy stepchildren – a socialite, a senator, and a judge – commit her to a mental institution, hoping to "bring her to her senses." In the sanitarium, a warm and inviting home known as "The Cloisers," Ethel befriends the other "guests," a colorful crew of kind, generous, and delusional souls. In time, Ethel finds happiness with them and plans to spend the rest of her life among them. Meanwhile, the stepchildren, discovering that Ethel has hidden the family fortune, attempt to browbeat her into confessing where the money has been stashed. Unruffled, Ethel maintains her dignity and leads them on a wild goose chase. In the end, Ethel and her friends successfully thwart the stepchildren, and Ethel is declared sane; she is free to live as she chooses. As she leaves The Cloisters, Ethel looks back at her band of misfit friends, seeing them as they see themselves in a gauzy tableau of contentment and delusion. With warmth, humor, and dignity, The Curious Savage celebrates those often overlooked, emphasizing kindness, affection, and empathy in a world that too frequently rewards greed and ambition. Before the show, we will stop for lunch on your own at the popular Berry Fields Cafe.
