The Theatre Group at SBCC to Present A FLEA IN HER EAR

By:

The Theatre Group at SBCC will continue the 16/17 season with the hilarious farce, A FLEA IN HER EAR, a new version of Georges Feydeau's farce by David Ives, directed by R. Michael Gros, March 1-18, 2017 in the Garvin Theatre.

In a new adaptation by contemporary playwright David Ives, Georges Feydeau's giddy farce concerns an insurance executive named Victor Chandebise , whose wife, Raymonde, suspects him of having an affair. When she lays a trap for him at the disreputable Frisky Puss Hotel, with help from her friend Lucienne, who's married to a jealous Spaniard, bourgeois respectability explodes into a brouhaha involving a set of garters, a revolving bed, a missing medical prosthesis, two women in French-maid outfits and other screwball ingredients. Winner of a 2006 Jefferson Award for best adaptation.

Directed by R. Michael Gros, A Flea in Her Ear will feature Addison Clarke, Matthew Cooper, Paisley ForsterSaunders, J. Dean Garcia, Sean Jackson, Richard Lonsbury, Michele Minor, Stuart Orenstein, Van Riker, Courtney Schwass, Allan Stewart-Oaten, Pacomio Sun, Stefan Wayne, Laksmini Wiyantini.

Performances will be March 1-18, 2017, Thursday through Saturday @ 7:30pm, Sundays @ 2pm. Previews on March 1 & 2 @ 7:30pm. The Sunday, March 5, 2pm performance will be live-captioned for the hearing-impaired. All performances have the assisted listening system available and the Garvin Theatre is wheelchair accessible.
