More about HCT’s Every Little Crook and Nanny – When retired nanny Lillie Scones, played by Sandra Griffin, inadvertently gets entangled in a mobster’s latest heist scheme, she and her quirky group of friends (Sue Ann Culp and Therese Zimmer) find themselves in the middle of the action. Sweet but sharp-witted Lillie runs a quiet boarding house with just one tenant—and a cat roughly the size of a small country. Life is peaceful enough until one of her former charges, Stuart (Ash Phoenix), moves in. She’s delighted to have him back, blissfully unaware that he’s plotting to rob the bank right around the corner. But when the heist happens, Stuart isn’t the one who pulls it off—and somehow, it’s Lillie who ends up as the prime suspect! Now, with a shrewd police chief, a suspicious fiancée, a pint-sized troublemaker with a caper’s toolkit, and a fast-talking sidekick in the mix, the mayhem reaches new heights. Who actually pulled off the crime? Can Lillie clear her name? And just how big is that cat?

Packed with heartwarming moments, zany antics, and a touch of Frank Capra-esque charm, Every Little Crook and Nanny is a must-see for comedy lovers of all ages. Join us for an evening of non-stop fun as these quick-witted seniors prove that a little life experience—and a lot of mischief—can outsmart even the craftiest crooks!
