“The Explorers Club” by Nell Benjamin.

London, 1879. The prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman, and their bartender is terrible. True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful, and has discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let in a woman could shake the very foundation of the British Empire, and how do you make such a decision without a decent drink? Grab your safety goggles for some very mad science involving deadly cobras, irate Irishmen and the occasional airship.

The cast includes David Hunt Stafford, Matt Landig, Christopher Franciosa, John Combs, Meghan Lewis, Hovannes John Babakhanyan, Kevin Dulude, Daniel Leslie, and Michael Mullen.

Melanie MacQueen directs.

Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Dark on Friday, June 7. On Saturday, June 22, there will be a 2 p.m. matinee and no evening show.
