Curious Misap hand in La Crosse theater Oct
Local theater goers may see Donald Robertson and his Chicago Art Institute company perform Carlo Goldoni's A Curious Mishap at the La Crosse theater on Saturday afternoon October 3.

The plot centers on Monsieur Phillibert who schemes to help a young soldier wed the daughter he dislikes, only to entangle his own child.

Seat sale opens tomorrow.
