Celebration Theatre Cancels DESIGN FOR LIVING Run; Holds 2 Benefit Shows, 7/20-21

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond production's control, Celebration Theatre is cancelling the previously announced run of Noel Coward's "Design For Living," scheduled to open this Friday, July 13. The theatre will be having two benefit readings on July 20 and July 21 at 8pm. The Celebration Theatre encourages audiences who wanted to see the play will come out for one of the readings. All are truly sorry for the cancellation and inconvenience.

In DESIGN FOR LIVING, the classic ménage-a-trois play by Noel Coward, Gilda and Otto are living a bohemian lifestyle, she as a dilettante, he as a painter. A visit by Leo, Otto’s old friend and a successful playwright leads to an affair between he and Gilda leaving Otto so devastated, he goes off on a tramp steamer. Now living in London with Leo, Gilda is visited by Otto, who has become a successful and sought-after artist. Just as abruptly, Gilda then goes off with Ernest, a stuffy English art dealer leaving both Otto and Leo to find solace both physically and emotionally in each other. The following year, now married to Ernest, Gilda has become a successful decorator in New York. Her seemingly complacent life is disrupted by the return of both Otto and Leo, who have come to take her back with them.
