Falconbridge Players will present a staged reading of the 1925 Pulitzer Prize winning play, They Knew What They Wanted, by Sidney Howard on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 7:00pm. Free admission, RSVP at Eventbrite. Doors open at 6:30pm.
Originally staged in 1924, Sidney Howard's comedy has it all: vigor, valor, and vino—and more than a little spaghetti humor. Aging winemaker Tony wants to marry Amy, a pretty, young San Francisco waitress. To skirt rejection, he sends his proposal with a photo of Joe, a young farmhand all the ladies go for. When Amy arrives on the scene and discovers the trick, it's only the beginning of the mayhem of good intentions but poor behavior.
