1978 Summer Theatre

Winner of the 1971 Critics Award and Obie Award as best American play, this brilliantly wacky comedy examines the zany but desperately sad attempt of a middle aged zoo attendant to break into the “big time” as a serious song writer.

What The Butler Saw, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1978 Summer Theatre

The Gazebo, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1978 Summer Theatre

Broadway hit comedy-melodrama — the story revolves around a writer of TV “whodunits and whyzits” who is always looking for a “new twist,” especially from his district attorney friend. Comedy is the inevitable result when he is forced to protect his beautiful wife from a blackmailer. A gazebo suddenly gets a “new use” during installation and the “new twist” becomes very real. Guaranteed entertainment for the family.
