“The Franky Bunch” opens Friday, February 4th, with a benefit show for Curative Connections. For more than 70 years, Curative Connections has helped families, seniors, and people with disabilities find support and care due to aging, dementia, brain injury, or other disability. For the opening night performance of “The Franky Bunch,” $10 of every sold ticket goes to this valuable organization in N. E. WI.
Here’s the story of a lovely lady (off in Hawaii taking a rest of her own) who was bringing up three very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold like their mother – one brushes it thousands of times a day, one has lost her glasses, and one is caring for her Kitty Karry-All. Here’s a story of a man named Frank Brady, who was busy with three boys of his own. They were four men, living all together — and they were struggling to pay the mortgage. One day, Dad Brady decides to enlist the help of Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia, Jan, and Cindy to raise some family funds. Will they be able to come up with an idea to save the day and their house? You’ll have to see in “The Franky Bunch”!
