July 25, 2008—Alexandria, LA: City Park Players is pleased to announce a special “Close to Home” ticket offer. You can purchase 4 “Close to Home” tickets for $40. The tickets may be used for either one of the last 2 regular season plays of the 2008 season if ordered and purchased before August 1st from the box office at Bringhurst Park Theatre.
The fourth offering of the 2008 season is the madcap musical The Boy Friend written by Sandy Wilson and directed by Tina Smith. The Boy Friend is set in the 1920’s on the French Riviera at Madame Dubonnet's School for Young Ladies a boarding school for girls. The musical was first performed in London in 1953, on Broadway in 1954 and by City Park Players in 1962. It was, in fact, the first musical ever performed at Bringhurst Park Theatre. Director Tina Smith and choreographer Leigh Schneider have a lively cast of local thespians. You will want to see this show when it hits the boards August 7th thru August 17th.
The last show of the season is the Neil Simon one-act play The Dinner Party. It tells the story of six unknowing guests who are invited to a private dining room in a first-rate restaurant in Paris. One thing is apparent: they are three divorced couples, and one of them has set up the party. The play was first performed in 2000 at the Music Box in New York City, but it is the first time it has been staged by City Park Players. It will be directed by Ed Reed and takes the stage on October 2nd.
