Ziegfeld Theater Presents THE PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE, Now thru 8/25
The Ziegfield Theater presents a Brian Wood production of THE PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE, tonight, August 23 – August 25, 2012 at 7:30 PM.
Mel Edison is a well-paid executive of a high-end Manhattan firm, which has suddenly hit the skids, and he gets the ax. His wife Edna takes a job to tide them over, then she too is sacked. Compounded by the air-pollution killing his plants, and with the walls of the apartment being paper-thin, allowing him a constant earful of his neighbors private lives, things can't seem to get any worse...Then he's robbed, and his psychiatrist dies with $23,000 of his money. Mel does the only thing left for him to do-he has a nervous breakdown and it's the best thing that ever happened to him...
Neil Simon has a gift for taking a grave subject and, without losing sight of its basic seriousness, treating it with hearty but sympathetic humor.
Directed by Brian Wood (also playing Mel), the show stars Becky Hunt as Edna, Ryan Williams as Harry, Julie Olsen as Pearl, Diane Robbins as Pauline and Susan Wilhelm as Jessie.
Tickets are $10 and are available through Brian Wood, the Ziegfeld Theater at 855-zig-arts (855-944-2787), online at theziegfeldtheater.com or at the door. The theater is located at 3934 Washington Blvd. Ogden, Utah. All proceeds go to the Northern Utah Coalition.
