In Good Company Players’ toe-tapping salute to 30’s movie musicals, the stage-struck heir to a New York banking empire travels to Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose on a run-down theater. He falls head-over-heels for the theater owner’s daughter and decides to save the theater from forclosure by putting on a show. Nobody trusts him so he disguises himself as a famous producer. All goes swimmingly until the real producer also arrives in Deadrock.

Mosey back to a simpler time and let the timeless music of George and Ira Gershwin wash over you. Rated PG.

Get your tickets at 559-266-9494 or 800-371-4747, or reserve online at rogerrockas.com. 

*  The performance on Saturday, February 28 will be interpreted in American Sign Language.


Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
bring laughter to 2nd Space

Here’s the review of this delightful comedy.
http://fresnobeehive.com/archives/39448

Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia spend their days bickering and complaining in their family home. When their movie-star sister dashes in for a visit with her boy-toy, old resentments flare. Throw in a sassy, clairvoyant maid and a pretty young actress and you have a recipe for riotous fun.

“Everyone has a monologue that is nothing short of hilarious… You’ve only spent a weekend with these people, but you might want to spend a lifetime with Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.”  – HuffingtonPost

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike runs through February 22nd at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre. Rated PG-13.

For tickets call 559-266-0660 or 800-371-4747, or buy online at 2ndspacetheatre.com.

Better yet, set yourself up for the entire season at 2nd Space.  A Season Ticket for all 6 shows is just $90.  But don’t wait.  Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is the hottest opening show ever at 2nd Space and seats are limited.  Get your Season Tickets now before it sells out.

 

Always A Bridesmaid is next at 2nd Space.  On prom night, four young friends swear to be in each others’ weddings, no matter what. 30 years — and numerous weddings later — the well-beaten path to true love could not get any crazier. Faithful to their promise, the four friends repeatedly ride the ‘marry-go-round’ in spite of fistfights at the altar, runaway brides and horrendous bridesmaid dresses. For richer-for-poorer, in-sickness-and-in-health, these aging debutantes are determined to help each other find happiness-ever-after.

Always A Bridesmaid opens February 26 at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre. Call 559-266-0660 or 800-371-4747 or buy online at  2ndspacetheatre.com. Rated PG.
