About
the Play:
Mrs. Harper's Bazaar is a one-act
farce by Babette Hughes.
This amusing farce lampoons a woman's organization and a charity
bazaar. Amusing incidents occurring during
a bazaar for the benefit of a needy mountain school in Kentucky. Mrs.
Harper's Bazaar is a natural
for girls' groups and women's clubs.
Mrs. Harper's Bazaar takes
place in a small room off the ballroom of The Pineview Hotel
in Pineview,
Washington at 10 o'clock at night. Reveals the exciting
amusement incident to a charity bazaar presided over by Mrs. Harper,
who has enough troubles this one evening to keep the audience
laughing for a long time. Most of the action centers around Honey
Walters, a movie star who is to make a personal appearance at the
bazaar, and who goes on strike when she discovers that she is
expected to unveil the statue of a mule – symbol of the charitable
activity of these clubwomen, who raise money to provide mules on
which the poor children of Kentucky may ride to school.
Mrs.
Harper's Bazaar was
first performed in 1937 at the Studio Theater, University of
Washington in Seattle. Since
then the play has been mounted by high schools, colleges, and
community theatres.
