Photo Flash: TheatreWorks New Milford's BOEING BOEING, Opening Tomorrow
On Friday, December 6, TheatreWorks New Milford will premiere the hysterical comedic romp for the Holidays, BOEING BOEING by Marc Camoletti. The curtain goes up at 8:00 p.m. on a five-week run. Check out a first look below!
Winner of the 2008 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, BOEING BOEING is a hilarious, door-slamming farce. Bernard, an American architect living in 1960s Paris, successfully juggles three flight attendant fiancées: one American, one German, and one Italian. He tracks their schedules while his long-suffering housekeeper reluctantly plays romantic air controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad. But when his old college pal, Robert, visits unexpectedly, things turn a tad turbulent. Unfortunately for Bernard, a faster Boeing jet has been introduced. Schedules change, flights are delayed, and chaos ensues in this hysterical, high-flying fiancée fiasco.
The cast features six of the area's finest actors: Matt Austin and Jody Bayer (both Danbury) and Erin Shaughnessy, Reesa Roccapriore, Vicki Sosbe, and James Hipp (all New Milford).
Besides Russo, the show's crew includes lighting design by Richard Pettibone and Scott Wyshynski, sound design by Tom Libonate, and stage management by Abby Hambidge.
BOEING BOEING runs December 6,7 13,14,15 20,21 27,28 31 and Jan 3,4. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with a 2:00 p.m. Sunday matinee on December 15. Tickets for all shows are $23 for reserved seating. On New Year's Eve, December 31, at 8:00 p.m. there will be one gala fundraising performance with hors d'oeuvres and an open bar of wine, beer, and soft drinks. Tickets for this event are $75.
