Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Sunday, July 31, 2:00 p.m. Grand Opera House 158 W. 8th Street, Dubuque, IA

In the exotic French Riviera, Lawrence Jameson makes his living by smooth talking rich, single women out of their money. He’s been in the trade for many years and has got his technique down to a tee. But then he bumps into Freddy Benson, Freddy takes a humbler, more laid-back approach, swindling women with emotional lies about his grandmother’s failing health and his own economic struggles. The two men initially decide to form a dou- ble act, but their egos soon clash. They agree on a bet: the first to swindle $50,000 from the latest young heiress in town, Christine Colgate, can stay and the other must leave town. However, is Christine really all she seems? Hilarity and confusion ensue as the two men pull out all the steps to prove they’re the best con man in town. Your Connections Club price is just $16 per person, due at reservation.
