Cast Set For Sauk's WEEKEND COMEDY

The cast has been announced for The Sauk's upcoming production of Sam and Jeanne Bobrick's "Weekend Comedy," the second of three outdoor productions happening this summer. Performances are August 13-16 at the Slayton Arboretum, located on Barber Drive, in Hillsdale.
In "Weekend Comedy," two New York couples discover that, due to a booking error, they've rented the same cottage for a three-day weekend. One couple, Frank and Peggy, is sedate and middle aged. The other, Tony and Jill, are free-wheeling and young. They decide to share the cabin. Before long, the comedic clash between the generations begins!

The cast consists of John Kasper as Frank, Sandi Miller as Peggy, Dylan Collier as Tony and Olivia Pike as Jill. All four actors have appeared in previous Sauk productions. The production is directed by Tami Hindes who directed last season's production of "The 39 Steps." The design team consists of Trinity Bird (set), Shannon Chen (costumes), Angela Forant (lighting) and Cyndi Baldermann (properties).
Performances of "Weekend Comedy" are August 13-15 at 8 p.m. A 3 p.m. matinee will be performed on August 16. All tickets are $10. The August 13 performance is a pay what you can preview performance. This production contains adult content. Tickets can be purchased online now at www.thesauk.org or by calling 517-849-9100.

Audiences are asked to bring their own seating - lawn chairs and/or blankets. Patrons will be asked to wear masks when entering and exiting the performance space. Temperatures will be taken upon entry.

"We will be keeping our eyes on the Governor's guidelines for safety during this production," said Trinity Bird, The Sauk's executive director. "Please watch our website and Facebook page for production updates. We will do everything we can to keep our volunteers and patrons safe. We hope those who can will come out to the show. If you do not feel safe coming out or are sick yourself, please stay home. We will have more theatrical opportunities for you soon."
