Magnolia Arts Center throws Austin Strong's hilarious family-friendly Broadway comedy Three Wise Fools a 90th birthday party.  Three gruff old geezers are roommates, all prominent men in New York City, a lawyer, a banker and a judge.  All fell in love with the same girl in their youth. However, she chose another. They receive news that she has died and asks her old noble friends to help take care of her daughter.  They take Sidney Fairchild into their home. She transforms the stuffy old place into a colorful home filled with flowers and joy. The banker's nephew Gordon falls in love with the beautiful Sidney. A comic complication arises when a criminal named Benny the Duck escapes from the Atlanta prison with a vendetta against the judge.  The show tugs on the heartstrings and leaves a smile on your face. 

Directed by Lee Armstrong with Heather Davis, the stellar cast includes William White, George Crowl, Rick Croskery, Heather O'Donnell, Patrick Sullivan, Ada Brown, Anna Nalepka, Dewey Funkhouser, Jeff Padgett, Launa Kowalski, Shelley Young, Richard Beck and Greg Jernigan as Benny the Duck.  Come laugh!
