basement of Monet Manor.
After his death 10 years ago,
his faithful retainer George
and daughter Annie continued
the family business for Mr.
Hammond’s widow, who

to a stranger, Mr. Bud Davis,
who is emphatic about turning
it into a retirement home for
ladies. Determined to keep
the manor, Annie invites an
old friend and sorority sister,
Charmaine Beauregard, to
play a ghost so as to help
convince Bud that the manor
is unsuitable for a retirement
home because it is haunted.

Reserved seating is rec-
