🎭 Jeeves & Wooster in 'Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves' 🎷

Join us this summer for an evening of laughter, live music, and classic British comedy in an incredible outdoor theatre performance, brought to you by the Alfresco Actors!

Step into the delightfully chaotic world of Bertie Wooster, whose knack for finding trouble is matched only by the brilliance of his ever-resourceful valet, Jeeves. From romantic mishaps to outrageous misunderstandings, this charming adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse’s beloved tale is packed with wit, eccentric characters, and laugh-out-loud moments.

Adding to the fun, enjoy live jazz performed by a talented ensemble of actor-musicians throughout the show. The perfect summer theatre show for the whole family!
