Barn Players to Present LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, 11/7-23

Next at The Barn Players is "La Cage Aux Folles" - the hilarious play is the winner of six Tony Awards and was made into the popular movie "The Birdcage". The show will play November 7th through November 23rd with performances Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 and Sunday matinees at 2:00 at the Barn Players and is the theatre group's final 2014 regular season production.

"La Cage Aux Folles" is a boisterous story about George, the suave owner of a popular glitzy drag nightclub on the French Riviera, who is partnered with a performer. The pair lives a charmed life until George's son turns up engaged to the daughter of a narrow-minded local politician. The hilarity shifts into high gear when the bride-to-be's parents want to meet their future son-in-law's parents.

The show features outstanding music and song including "I Am What I Am", "Song On The Send', and "The Best of Times" in a wild, hilarious farce about nonconformity filled with gorgeous costuming, fabulous dance numbers; it is an indisputable classic musical comedy. Rated "PG"
