React Theatre Group Presents: Million Dollar Baby!
React theatre group is pleased to invite you to witness a classic story of good versus evil in our adaptation of Million Dollar Baby!
A comic-melodrama in 2 acts, the story takes place in 1871, Chicago, USA. Nellie Cavandish is saintly; her greedy brother, Creepstone, is diabolical. Their daddy willed $1,000 to each with the stipulation that the one who increases the amount the most within 30 days will inherit his entire fortune. The struggle between good and evil becomes a tug of war, with Nellie and her gentle friends, including the Chicago Fire Department, pulling honestly and earnestly, and Creepstone and his gamblers and show girls using every underhanded, dishonest ploy they can conjure up.
This semester, in addition to other fundraising efforts, we will be donating a portion of our ticket sales to our chosen organisation, Sunflower Scotland! A local organisation dedicated to providing humanitarian aid directly from Scotland to frontline hospitals, medics, orphans and rehabilitation centres in Ukraine.
WHEN: Doors open 6:00 pm for a 6:30 start, Friday the 27th and Saturday the 28th of November 2026
WHERE: The Assembly Hall (room RC471), Royal College Building, The University of Strathclyde, 204 George Street, G1 1RX. Accessible entrance is through George Street.
Non-accessible entrance through the James Weir Building will also be available (this is located on 75 Montrose Street, halfway up the hill) in addition to the George Street entrance.
