The Roaring Twenties was such a colorful decade that the unbeatable team of playwright Tim Kelly and musician Bill Francoeur couldn’t resist it! Come celebrate the era with them and meet Polly Pepper, a young flapper who really knows how to live in the time of Stutz Bearcat automobiles, Ziegfield girls, raccoon coats, ukuleles, beauty contests, goldfish swallowers, and gangsters. Polly’s about to turn 18 and will then inherit a fabulous diamond necklace called the ’Ice Garden.’ She’s planning a madcap birthday party and inviting all her pals. However, with a friend like Susan Stuyvesant-Fish, she doesn’t need any enemies! Polly’s new boyfriend, Buck Wayne, wouldn’t miss the birthday bash for anything, even if he has to land his private plane on the lawn of the polo grounds. But there’s trouble ahead! Mobsters are planning to grab the necklace. But thanks to Polly, they’re defeated in uproarious fashion.
Meet fabulous characters like Mona of the Crazy Cat Club, Monica Woodsquirrel of Radio Station WWWW atop Hotel Times Square, crime fighter Lieutenant Fluke, mobsters trying to steal the necklace, and ’Flagpole Sitter’ Lenny Knickerbocker. Not only does Polly save the necklace, she also saves her aunt from losing money in a confidence scheme and manages to become the star of the Ziegfeld Follies before she even cuts the cake! The songs are sensational, including ’The Roaring Twenties,’ ’It Has to be Jazz,’ ’Mona’s Moaning Low,’ ’Dijja Ever?’ and, natch, ’Flapper.’ Set on an open stage, this is a simple production with lots of small but funny roles. Flapper is the ’cat’s meow,’ so what are you waiting for? ’Ev’rybody Charleston’ your way over to this sure-fire audience pleaser!

Hear what directors and critics are saying:
I loved the music. I especially loved the instrumental accompaniment.
Our favorite Pioneer Drama show thus far was Flapper! It was a great hit with the kids, and they really embraced the entire 20’s aesthetic. What a great farce! Betsy Falk, On Stage & Off, Inc., Lansdale, PA
This musical is a hidden gem. It would be a wonderful choice for schools, with a predominantly youthful cast and lovely roles for young women. Stage Whispers magazine
Because I loved the era, the songs and the story were great fun. It all seemed to flow seamlessly and the characters were really good. Also, there were enough characters for our school so that I didn’t have to add more or halve parts etc.
