The Mansfield Palace Community Theatre is a group of local drama enthusiasts who over the past eight years have produced annual main-stage productions in collaboration with professional writers, directors, designers and theatre staff.

Beaux, plural of Beau (pronounced BOZE): A man who gives excessive attention to dress, appearance and social etiquette.

Stratagem (pronounced STRA-TUH-GEM): A trick or scheme designed to outwit an enemy or obtain an advantage.

Two fashionable beaux; Archer and Aimwell, have fallen on hard times spending their fortune on gambling and drinking. They plan to travel through small towns, entrap young heiresses, steal their money and move on. Their adventures in a quick twenty-four hours include flirting with the bar maid, making love to the wives and heiresses, fighting off the highwaymen and exposing the French. This is Farquhar's most beloved play, which dances between the comedy of situation, wit and manners.

It's all a fun, uproarious evening of comedy and mayhem.
