Wednesday, June 4 Civic Theatre’s dress rehearsal performance of the comedy, Waiting in the Wings” Noel Coward’s tribute to theatre is set in The Wings, a dilapidated charity home for aged actresses. Jealousy abounds among the former stars, and sets the stage for a wealth of sophisticated wit and a collection of tangled subplots.
