Breaking Up is Hard to Do opens Nov. 16

It’s 1960 and her friend Lois takes shy mousy dental student Marge, who recently was left at the altar, to Esther’s Paradise Resort in the Catskills to take Marge’s mind off her troubles and find new romance.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do showcases 18 Neil Sedaka classics.  The nostalgia, music, and laughter keep on rolling as the cast belts out Sedaka’s greatest hits, including “Sweet Sixteen” “Where the Boys Are” and “Calendar Girl” just for starters!

Good Company Players’ sweetly comic story of two friends in search of good times and romance over one wild Labor Day weekend is rated PG and is on stage at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater through Jan. 7.

Just 8 performances remain
for The Drowsy Chaperone

 This very funny “musical within a comedy” comes to a close at Roger Rocka’s with the matinee performance on Sunday, Nov. 12.

When an avid theater buff places an old record on his phonograph, his favorite musical comes to life in his living room.  Good Company Players’ fun-filled production of The Drowsy Chaperone pulls one show-stopping number after another out of – the refrigerator.   Rated PG
