The Don Conrad Theatre won’t quite become a Victoria’s Secret fashion runway at this season’s Elk Point Allied Arts dinner theatre production. But with or without Victoria, there are plenty of secrets behind an illicit lingerie operation set in New York City.

The play, Nana’s Naughty Knickers, is a comedy by Katherine DiSavino.

Bridget is about to move in with her grandmother Sylvia in New York. But what Bridget saw as an opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana for the summer quickly turns into an unforgettable experience.

Bridget is a law student, committed to respecting the law of the land. She suspects Sylvia is up to something illegal but she doesn’t know what. Meanwhile, the landlord of the rent-controlled apartment is desperate to break Sylvia’s lease so he can hike the rent.

The sweet old grandma, as it turns out, has an unlicenced home-based business selling handmade “naughty knickers” to senior citizens all across The Big Apple. 

Bridget and a friendly policeman need to protect Sylvia from prosecution or eviction; but they are sworn to uphold the law.

Nana’s Naughty Knickers has drawn big laughs from audiences across North America. See ad in this week’s Respect for ticket information.

Table reading is an important part of the early rehearsal process. In a couple of weeks the story will spring to life on a fully-decorated stage. JEFF GAYE
