The Baroness, a play by Connecticut Playwright Jacques Lamarre, will have its World Premiere at Playhouse on Park, running June 4th – 22nd.

“Baroness Elsa Schraeder has arrived at the Von Trapp mansion to seal the deal: her engagement to Austria’s most eligible bachelor, Georg Von Trapp. What the Baroness doesn’t count on mucking up her plans: a yodeling and curtain-sewing failed nun. Refusing to let a dowdy governess get the better of her, the Baroness takes to her room to plot her revenge, when a certain telegram delivery boy climbs through her window. Don’t miss this hilarious new comedy by the writer of I Love, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, and one of the co-writers of Christmas on the Rocks.”
