Lake Dillon Theatre Co.'s THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT Continues Through 9/22

THE LAKE DILLON THEATRE COMPANY presents THE OWL AND THE PUSSCAT, a romantic comedy by Bill Manhoff.

Committed to presenting a diverse theatre season of comedies, dramas, and musicals, the Lake Dillon Theatre Company continues its 2013 Theatre Season with this witty, yet moving interpretation of the age-old tale of attraction between opposites.

Out of the window from his San Francisco loft, aspiring author Felix spies his neighbor, Doris, an actress, model, and sometimes prostitute, accepting money after an evening rendezvous. Felix complains to the building's landlord, who then evicts Doris, leaving her out on the street. Furious, she demands an explanation from Felix, and ultimately the two find themselves on a hilarious, bumpy, and touching journey of self-discovery and love.

"THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT is a funny and smart look at a romance between two opposites in the 1960s," explains Lake Dillon Theatre Company Executive Director, who also serves as director for THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. "It's a gem that we are very excited to share with our community."

Debuting on Broadway in November 1964, THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT originally starred Alan Alda and Diana Sands.

Denver-based actor Scott McLean makes his Lake Dillon Theatre Company debut as "Felix" and Selah Grace, who starred in last season's KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, plays "Doris." THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT has scenic design by Jared Grohs, lighting design by Nick Kargel, costume design by Nikki Harrison, sound design by Lake Dillon Theatre Company Production Manager Ben Whitmore, and properties design and stage management by Hannah-Elise Johnson.

Producing partners of THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT include Nell Campbell of Cornerstone Real Estate, LLC. The Lake Dillon Theatre Company season sponsors include the Town of Dillon, the Summit Foundation, the Summit Daily News, and Colorado Creative Industries.
