Hershey Area Playhouse
Announces a Spring Surprise!
Hershey Area Playhouse (HAP) has changed their spring production. HAP is delighted to announce that they have obtained the rights to do a popular revival of a 60's farce-
Boeing Boeing
by Marc Camoletti, Beverly Cross and Francis Evans, produced by special arrangement with Samuel French.
This classic fast paced comedy will be performed in the place of
Italian American Reconciliation
, April 12-15 and 19-22, at the Playhouse.
Auditions will be held on Friday, February 23 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the theatre. Please come with a prepared monologue. Visit
www.HersheyAreaPlayhouse.com
for more information.
In this 1960’s French farce, self-styled Parisian swinging single Bernard is engaged. The only problem is he is engaged to not one, but three women at the same time. All three are “air hostesses” working for three different airlines and carrying on their romance with Bernard during their layovers in Paris. It all works perfectly as one departs, another arrives, until one day when storms and a newer faster airplane throws the schedule out the window, leaving Bernard, his friend Robert, and long-suffering maid Bertha to cope with the consequences.
