On April 19-21, the Father Ryan High School Purple Masque
Players swung the doors of the imagination open with the performance of our spring
musical, Sandy Wilson’s The Boyfriend. The Jazz Age lives
on in this light, romantic 1920’s
musical comedy.
 The setting is – where else? – The French Riviera. Polly, an English heiress attending Madame Dubonnet’s Finishing School, falls in love with Tony, a delivery boy. Recalling her father’s warning to beware of fortune seekers, she poses as a working girl, unaware Tony is in fact the missing son of the wealthy Lord Brockhurst.
Things get complicated with the unexpected arrival in Nice of Polly’s father and Lord and Lady Brockhurst – but
not to worry, a happy ending is in store for all.
