Farr and Gillette Star in 'Flamingo Court' Starting 7/17

This summer, South Florida comes to New York in FLAMINGO COURT, a comedy in three condos by Luigi Creatore.  Starring Emmy Award nominee Jamie Farr (television's "M*A*S*H," Guys & Dolls) and Tony Award nominee Anita Gillette (Chapter Two, They're Playing Our Song), and directed by Steven Yuhasz, FLAMINGO COURTbegins performances at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street) on Thursday, July 17th. Opening night is Thursday, July 31st at 7:00PM.

Farr and Gillette take on multiple roles in three one act plays featuring the loopy and endearing residents of Flamingo Court, a South Florida apartment complex.  Each floor is another story with a lesson to learn.  Sex after sixty's no sin.   Where there's a will, there's a way (for your kids to fight over the inheritance).  And love, at any age, can be a new and beautiful thing.

Presented by Theatre 21 and Carolyn Rossi Copeland, FLAMINGO COURTalso features Lucy Martin, Herbert Rubens and J. Cameron Barnett.  The scenic design is by Jim Youmans; costume design by Carol Sherry; lighting design by Herrick Goldman; and sound design by David Arnold.

"I'm thrilled to be back in New York with such a hilarious play," says Farr.  "When I first read it, I laughed out loud. For me, this is one of those old-fashioned 'let's-forget-your-troubles-and-have-some-fun' comedy."

"I'm so happy to be a part of this warm and funny play," says Gillette.  "Luigi has written three one-act comedies with characters that we can all identify with.  They've been kicking around for a while, but they are still living life and learning how to love one another.   This is a show with a lot of laughs and a lot of heart."

FLAMINGO COURT begins performances at New World Stages, stage #2 (340 West 50th Street) on Thursday, July 17th. Opening night is Thursday, July 31st at 7:00PM.  Performances on Monday and Tuesday through Saturday at 8:00PM with matinees  Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00PM and Sunday at 3:00PM.
