“BOEING-BOEING” RETURNS FOR TWO ENCORE SHOWS

Back by popular demand, the Carriage Lane Players will be presenting an encore production of their recent play, “Boeing-Boeing.” The newly formed local theater group played to close to sold-out audiences during the first three shows last month and have received a demand for the play to appear in Colebrook again. Many people have heard about what some are saying is “the funniest play I’ve seen in a long time” and want to see it. Others want to see it again. 

Two encore shows are scheduled at the Tillotson Center in Colebrook on Saturday, March 28, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 (or four for $50) and now available as well as at the door on the day of the performances,
Once again sponsored by the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts, the group is very excited the recent play went over so well and all of the actors are looking forward to reprising their roles on the Tillotson Center stage. 

The story is set in the 1960s, and swinging bachelor Bernard (Tom Jordan) couldn’t be happier: he has a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses (played by Colleen Clogston, Nora Gair and Naomi Going) all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard’s perfect life gets bumpy when his friend Robert (John Quigley) comes to visit and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in town simultaneously. Robert can hardly believe his eyes as he sees how Bernard and his maid Berthe (Catherine Carter) handle the fiancees flying in and out of the bachelor pad. The audience will want to fasten their seatbelts–if you haven’t heard yet–there’s certainly turbulence ahead. You won’t want to miss this hilarious story with a terrific stage set built by John Jolles and Steve Bunnell. 

Advance tickets are on sale at Fiddleheads, 110 Main St., in Colebrook, as well as at the door before the shows. For more on this and other GNWCA sponsored shows, call 237-9302 or 246-8998 or visit www.gnwca.org.
