The Alden-Conger drama department will present the play “Strange Boarders” this weekend on the Alden-Conger stage. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for students and senior citizens. Showtimes were at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and today at 2 p.m.

“Strange Boarders” is a comedy mystery by Batson and Kirkland. Cordelia Tuttle, played by Allyssa Jorgenson, runs a small boarding house on the beach out east. She is constantly being harassed by unruly Mrs. Hodge (Maurene Olson) of the Child Welfare Council because of the two girls, Candy (Sam Lein) and Glory (Annika Riebe), she has taken in. The girls’ education consists of pretend trips to distant shores with Captain Winkle (Chris Martens) and the shenanigans of Professor Harriman (Ian Olson). Mrs. Hodge doesn’t believe the girls are being brought up properly.

Trouble brews when a group of mobsters (Brett Neel, Alex Jacobs, Chase Christopherson, and Robert VanRiper) robs the Nixon Bank of Boston. They send their dames (Lexi Martens and Miranda Theusch) to stash the cash at Cordelia’s small unsuspecting boarding house. Comedy abounds as they repeatedly hide, find and move the cash around the small inn. Other characters include the forever faithful suitor, John Todd (Kaden Erkkila), and Lon Daggett, (Trevor Kuethe), the mooning admirer of Candy. Susie (Izabelle Thostenson), the mailman’s daughter, also makes a comical appearance.
