In this side-splitting comic romp about marriage, career-driven Suzannah Hayden needs a lot more help on the home front than she's getting from her husband, Gibby. Enter Beth Bailey, Suzannah's newly hired assistant, a gregarious highly motivated daughter of the South. Beth explodes into the Hayden household and whips it into an organized, well run machine. When Gibby realizes it's Suzannah's career Beth is really after, he sets out to save his marriage aided by Suzannah's best friend. Their efforts to stop Beth at any costs sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry! http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=67527;token=guest.a8a9c57030282a14005678908ac2763b Alban Gelix Date: Sun, Apr 22, 2012 Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM Description: Hi everybody, Teaching House will run several FREE ENGLISH COURSES in 2012.
