Thoroughly Stupid Things: Gwendolyn and Cecily are bored housewives; their husbands, Jack and Algernon, respectively, spend too much time at the local men's club. When the club admits its first female member, none other than alluring cabaret singer Bibi LaFlam, the ladies suspect their husbands of infidelity. With the help of Lady Bracknell and Dr. Chausable, Gwendolyn and Cecily go undercover as the newest club members, brother attorneys Ernest and Ernest, to find out exactly what Jack and Algernon have been up to. The ladies get more than they bargained for.

Directed by Megan Demarest, Thoroughly Stupid Things features Jennifer Semrick (Gwendolyn Worthing), Amy Forney (Cecily Moncrief), Darrell Glasgow (Jack Worthing), Stephen Laferriere (Algernon Moncrief), Justin McKenna (Lady Bracknell), Stephanie Lovell (Ms. Prism), Synge Maher (Inspector Raynier), John Buxton (Bibi LaFlam) and Dean Jones (Merriman/Dr. Chausable).
