CHESTER and MIDLOTHIAN, Va. – What do you get when you mix zany personalities with wacky situations, a woman on a journey of self-discovery, and a trip to Niagara Falls? You get Wonder of the World of course! John Tyler Community College’s Theatre Workshop class brings this dark, absurdist comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire to the stage in December for three performances, and the community is invited to join the fun.
