Add laughter and live theatre to your summer getaway in Alexandria, MN with Souvenir, the witty and heartwarming comedy by Stephen Temperley.

For more than half a century, the name Florence Foster Jenkins has produced explosions of laughter. Not unreasonably so, as this wealthy social eccentric suffered under the delusion that she was a great coloratura soprano… when in fact she was incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune! Nevertheless, her annual recitals in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton brought her extraordinary fame and a growing mob of fans who packed her recitals – stuffing their mouths with handkerchiefs to stifle their laughter, which Mrs. Jenkins blissfully mistook for cheers.
SOUVENIR, by turns hilarious and poignant, tells her story through the eyes of her long-time accompanist, Cosme McMoon. With each new imagined triumph, and as Florence’s confidence soars, Cosme comes to revise his attitude, not only toward her singing, but to the very meaning of music itself.
