So, here’s the deal. This play is important to me. Not only because it’s my first time producing (and my friend Heather too!) and if I don’t get butts in the seats I’m an epic failure. NOT ONLY because my husband HWMMS and my bestie from college Erin are leads in this small ensemble cast of characters…
BUT because it is FUNNY AS FUCK. I adore this script. And yes, there’s swearing in it. Just wait until you hear Erin’s FUCKING monologue. And see her waddle like a penguin 8 & 3/4ths months pregnant on stage!
HWMMS “plays” (ahem) a smartass Irish comedy writer and gets to do a fart joke on stage. Um…so there’s also that.
It’s smart. It’s hysterical. It’s (sadly) politically relevant and timely once again. And it’s Neil Simon.
As our dear Director Matt Boyle said…
“When you come and see the 1950s America and the political environment, I think people are going to be surprised at some of the parallels and how timely the piece actually is.”
Come see this play. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. The cast is a talented bunch of ragtag folk from all over WNY. Coming to our little Springville just to entertain YOU (and really, themselves…let’s be honest. Everyone is having a lot of fun at rehearsals and had amazing chemistry together since day one.)
It would mean the WHOLE WORLD to us to see you there.
February 28 & March 1-3 and March 15-17.
