PUTNEY, VT — Next Stage Arts presents Vermont Suitcase Company in My Lady of Whims, a fast-paced theatrical adaptation of the 1925 silent film, on Friday, July 10 at 7:30 p.m. at Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill in Putney. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Filled with action, intrigue, romance, and comedy, My Lady of Whims follows a frantic race against time as a councilman’s daughter disappears just before a crucial fundraising gala.
