Play With Your Lunch

The Play With Your Lunch crew is back at the Wyoming Civic Center on May 5 at Noon for a final show in the Spring season. The very talented cast will regale us with the very funny predicaments that the inhabitants of this world get themselves into. We are used to Alan Ayckbourn hitting the funny bone when he cuts into middle-class shenanigans, but who knew that Chekhov was hilarious. That Tennessee Williams wasn’t always tragic.

 Confusions by Alan Ayckbourn. Two couples are dining at separate tables. One husband is having a fling with the other’s wife. The waiter bears the brunt of the unexpressed suspicions with laughter spilling out all over.

Lord Byron’s Love Letter, by Tennessee Williams. A woman of a certain age collects a fee from tourists who stop by her threadbare apartment in the French Quarter to read a love letter written to her grandmother by the famous poet.

The Marriage Proposal by Anton Chekhov. A wealthy landowner’s daughter gums up the works when a good, but nervous prospect for marriage presents himself one morning. 

Actors Susan Emerson, Michael Bath, Jim Stump, Joshua Steele, and Lauren Shmalo, Blythe Walker serve up the funny stuff. Herb DuVal directs. And there will be music.

Half Day is again in the kitchen.
Tickets are $20 until April 15th. $22 After.
