THE SUNSHINE BOYS Hits The Broken Arrow Community Playhouse 9/4, 5, 10, 11 and 12

By:

The Broken Arrow Community Playhouse is proud to present Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys” directed by Martha Cherbini. Martha has directed several successful shows for the BACP over the years, the last of which was the highly acclaimed The Gin Game. She has chosen a phenomenal cast of BACP veterans and newcomers featuring Tom Berenson as Willie Clark and Brian Shoop as Al Lewis. The role of Ben Silverman, Willie’s nephew and agent, is played by Ron Friedberg. Rounding out the cast are Stephen Brown, Kelley Childers-Friedberg, Lori Jackson and Richard Perceful.

“The Sunshine Boys,” is a play by Neil Simon that was produced on Broadway in 1972 and later adapted to both film and television. This comedic tribute to vaudeville is sparkling with humor and a large dose of honesty. The show revolves around Al Lewis and Willie Clark, their forty-three year partnership as the legendary act known as Lewis and Clark ended in anger and resentment. The two have not spoken to each other for eleven years. It is now 1972 and CBS is inviting the team to reunite to perform their most famous sketch for a TV special on the history of comedy. The big question is will the two get their act together long enough to pull it off, without killing each other first?

Performance dates are September 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinee September 13 at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $13 for adults, $10 for seniors, $9 for students, and $6 for children 12 and younger. For more information check out their website at www.bacptheatre.com.

Reservations for this production may be made by calling the BACP box office at 918-258-0077. The BACP is located in The Main Place at 1800 S. Main in downtown Broken Arrow

Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. This production is made possible in part by grants from the Oklahoma Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Also sponsored in part by The George Kaiser Family Foundation. The Broken Arrow Community Playhouse is a member of the Oklahoma Community Theatre Association and the Tulsa Area Community Theatre Association.
