‘The Housekeeper’ cleans up at Lakeville Community Hall

LAKEVILLE, PA — The Lakeside Players will bring the comedy “The Housekeeper” to the stage at Lakeville Community Hall on Route 590 starting on Friday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Written by James Prideaux, “The Housekeeper” tells the story of Manley Carstairs (played by Tony Schwartz), a lonely, pompous writer, and Annie Dankworth (played by Marylou Ambrose), the uneducated, pushy bag lady he inadvertently hires to keep his house. Totally inept at cooking and cleaning, Annie is skilled at disrupting her employer’s life to the point that he can’t write and doubts that he ever could. Will Manley kick Annie back onto the street? Will Annie convince him there’s more to life than book writing? Will Manley ever stop talking to his dead mother? Will Annie ever stop talking and learn to cook? The heartwarming comedy portrays the sometimes volatile, often touching, always surprising relationship that evolves over four days.

Performance dates are October 10 through 12 and 17 through 19. Friday and Saturday performances will be at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 3:00 p.m. Tickets cost $12; groups of 10 or more get a $2 discount per person.
