Overview
In Washington state at the turn of the 20th century, the small town of Angel’s Roost is thrown into confusion when old Menelaus’s capricious wife Helen runs off with a traveling salesman named Paris, who was in town to judge an apple pie bake-off. Restless Ulysses, just returned from the Spanish-American War, sets off to retrieve Helen, leaving his wife Penelope for a ten-year adventure. The operetta's rousing score includes the jazz standard "Lazy Afternoon."
