Exceptional Season in 2018

Good Company Players at
Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater

It’s too good a time to miss!
Only 2 weeks left, and some performances are nearly sold out  This Neil Sedaka songfest must end with the matinee on Sunday, January 14.

Set at a Catskills resort in 1960, Breaking Up is Hard To Do is the sweetly comic story of Lois and Marge, two friends from Brooklyn in search of adventure and romance one wild Labor Day weekend. Marge has just been jilted at the altar and doesn’t want to be “Solitaire” so Lois convinces Marge that the two of them should use her honeymoon reservations at Esther’s Paradise Resort Hotel, because that is “Where The Boys Are”.

The nostalgia, music, and laughter keep on rolling in this comedy as the cast belts out Neil Sedaka’s greatest hits including “Sweet Sixteen,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Calendar Girl,” “Laughter In The Rain,” and the title song — just for starters!

Don’t miss the fun of Breaking Up is Hard To Do!
