TRIPLE ESPRESSO - A HIGHLY CAFFEINATED COMEDY

Nov. 23, 2016 - Jan. 8, 2017, New Century Theatre

Written by Bill Arnold, Michael Pearce Donley and Bob Stromberg, and directed by William Partlan, the show is a high-energy, vaudeville-inspired comedy for all ages. It tells the rags-to-rags story of an aspiring trio whose bid for showbiz fame and fortune ended in four minutes of magnificent failure on national television. Combining magic and comedy, original music and parodies, physical humor and a touch of audience involvement, it's an experience not quite like any other. The irresistible, clean humor is as funny the fifth time as the first.

Over the years, the company has had as many as six shows running simultaneously. The show has entertained more than two million people in more than 50 cities and 6 countries. A production in San Diego, California ran for 11 years. The show has also played such U.S. cities as Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Milwaukee, Denver, St. Louis, Des Moines, Tulsa, Phoenix and many others, as well as performing in Dublin, London, Ghent, Munich and Berlin.
