Trading Wine Glasses for Spy Glasses…
Valley Players and the Napa Valley Performing Arts Center at Lincoln Theaterpresent Women in Jeopardy by Wendy McLeod—October 4th through 13th at the Lincoln Theater in Yountville.
NAPA, CA, September 6, 2019 – Charlie’s Angels meets I Love Lucy in this fun and flirtatious comedy. Middle-aged mom Liz has a new man, and let’s face it—he’s just plain creepy. When a mysterious disappearance sets the community on edge, Liz’s best friends Mary, and Jo suspect the new boyfriend, who also happens to be a dentist. Mary and Jo leap to the rescue and find themselves in a zany caper—chasing Liz, her daughter, the weirdo dentist, and the daughter’s snowboarder boyfriend, from the ‘burbs’ to the wilds of Utah; because there’s no danger great enough to stop women from solving crimes if they want to! A riotous comedy about trading in wine glasses for spy glasses when the mid-life crisis isn’t your speed— screw the mid-life crisis; let’s solve some crimes!
