By David Sanders, student writer

Oakland University is set to host the touring musical and screwball comedy, "Dear Edwina," in Varner Recital Hall from June 4-6.

Set in Paw Paw, Mich., the play tells the story of Edwina Spoonapple, as she makes last-minute preparations for her musical advice show, which she performs live from her garage every Sunday morning.

Edwina and her friends work to untangle a series of conflicts and learn life lessons as the play unfolds. Sure to entertain all ages, audience members may come away with a new perspective on their own abilities to compromise and solve problems.

Cast members include:

Kryssy Becker
Diane Dehn
David Vogel
Emily Mitchell
Kaitlyn Hahn
Sam Rohloff
Peter Giessl
Lauren Wainwright
Susanna Allen
Joey Feldmann
