It’s Alive! and coming next!
From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers comes this monster new musical comedy.
With such memorable tunes as “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and “Puttin’ On The Ritz,” Young Frankenstein is scientifically-proven, monstrously good entertainment…and the only place you’ll witness a singing and dancing laboratory experiment in the largest tuxedo ever made.
Young Frankenstein opens at Roger Rocka’s November 14.
Yes, we have restrooms!
And the good news is they no longer look like this! During the ten days between the close of Curtains and the opening of Shrek the Musical, our restrooms were demolished down to the dirt and then reconstructed to meet ADA standards. It was a race against time so crews worked around the clock.
To make everything fit, the men’s and women’s restrooms had to exchange places, so be sure to check the signs before you walk in.
At GCP’s 2nd Space Theatre
There are only two weekends left for Oscar Wilde’s classic romantic comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre. This wonderfully witty farce tells the tale of two wealthy young gentlemen, Algernon and Jack, who create false identities to escape their social obligations but quickly find that they must exhaust their creative resources to keep up the facade. To add to the outrageous complications, each one falls in love with the other’s ward and each refuses to give permission to the other because of their deceptive characters.
Ends October 13. Rated G.
2nd Space Box Office: 559-266-0660 or 800-371-4747.
November 1–
December 22
Charles Dickens’ beloved classic is coming up next at GCP’s 2nd Space Theatre.
