The Garfield Center for the Arts at the Prince Theatre and Hugh Gregory Gallagher Theatre are partnering for a night of comedy, presenting Neil Simon’s,“The Sunshine Boys” for one performance only, Saturday, October 24 at 8pm.
Simon’s comedic masterpice about showbiz, aging and friendship features the legendary vaudevillian team known as “Lewis and Clark” who, not only grew to hate each other but never spoke to each other off-stage their final year together. The obstinate Clark, who was not ready for retirement, resented the shrewder Lewis for breaking up the act when he opted to leave show business. Hilarity ensues when there is an effort to reunite the two for a TV special on the history of comedy. This reluctant reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.
Neil Simon authored Barefoot in the Park, The Odd Couple, Biloxi Blues, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Chapter Two, and numerous other plays and film adaptations. Simon received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play for The Sunshine Boys. Director, Ed Langrell provides a talented cast to perform the hysterics, Craig Brittingham is Al Lewis and Brian McGunigle as Willie Clark . Erik Murray is Willie Clark’s nephew, Ben Silverman. John Norton portrays Eddie, the TV assistant. Sharon Gilroy and Nicole Millette appear as the nurses.
Performance is one night only at the Garfield Center for the Arts at the Prince Theater at 210 High Street, in Chestertown on Saturday, October 24 at 8pm. Tickets are $15. Call the theatre box office (410) 810-2060 or visit www.garfieldcenter.org to order your tickets for a night of hilarity.
