NEW IBERIA, La. --- Iberia Performing Arts League’s first production of the 2019 – 2020 season is a comedy, The Silver Whistle.

The lead character is Wilfred Tasbinder, a romantically minded, 37-year-old tramp, who finds a birth certificate for Oliver Erwenter, indicating that its owner is 77 years old. Wilfred decides to impersonate Erwenter and enter a home for the aged. Being a fellow of rich imagination, he takes it upon himself to help the inmates by putting on a bazaar and showing each of them that one is only as old as he feels. The play is directed by Hollie Guidry. 

The Silver Whistle runs Sept. 6 - 15 at the Essane Theater (126 Iberia St.). Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. All tickets are $10 and are available online at brownpapertickets.com, at the door, or at the following locations: Delaune’s Pharmacy, the Daily Iberian, and Allain’s Jewelry.
