Theatre Conspiracy closes its summer season with Carey Crim\u2019s hilarious comedy \u201cWhat Springs Forth\u201d at the Off Broadway Palm Theatre. Artistic Director Bill Taylor describes \u201cWhat Springs Forth\u201d as \u201claugh-out-loud funny.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFour ladies go on what they think is going to be a little sabbatical, but it turns out to be a camping trip instead,\u201d Taylor explained.<\/p>\n

Actually, the foursome think they\u2019re going to a relaxing, high-end spa for a weekend of facials, mani-pedis and massages. Instead, they find themselves at a wilderness survival retreat during which they discover they didn\u2019t really know each other as well as they thought they did.<\/p>\n

Playwright Carey Crim is known to Southwest Florida theatergoers. Her play, \u201cMorning After Grace,\u201d was performed by Gulfshore Playhouse in 2023 and by Florida Repertory Theatre in 2021.<\/p>\n

Local favorites Shelley Sanders, Lucy Sundby, Anne Reed and Tiffany Campbell star.
\u201cWhat Springs Forth\u201d runs through Aug. 30.<\/p>\n
