Comedy act ‘Boeing Boeing’ soars to Millbrook Playhouse

MILL HALL — BOEING BOEING, the classic farce, is now running at the Millbrook Playhouse from through Sunday, July 23.

Billed as the funniest play of the season, BOEING BOEING features Parisian playboy Bernard and his three fiancées who work as flight attendants on three different airlines.

He has arranged things perfectly to make sure that when one takes off, one lands, and one is in the air. Most importantly, none are in Paris at the same time! But when flight schedules change, thanks to Boeing jets getting introduced on all the routes, all three women wind up in his Paris flat on the same night! Hilarity ensues as Bernard and his friend Robert try to keep all three women from discovering each other. Will Bernard and Robert, with the help of their French housekeeper, Berthe, be able to survive the night with all three fiancees in town?

“It is always a treat to see a classic comedy in the Poorman Cabaret,” said Artistic Director Shannon Agnew. “The theater has been filled with laughter, and it is such a treat to share that energy and fun with our patrons. This is absolutely the laugh-out-loud play of the season.”

Agnew said this kind of fast paced comedy is always a patron favorite in the Poorman Cabaret and tickets are selling quickly.

Boeing Boeing is brilliantly directed by Millbrook alum Lawrence Lesher, and featuring an all star cast of Megan Wager (Gloria), James Taylor III (Bernard), Melissa Winter (Berthe), Eb Madson (Robert), Kathleen Macari (Gabriella), and returning Millbrook favorite Alice Bahlke seen last season in Misery (Gretchen). Scenic design and technical direction by Cade M. Sikora, Properties design by Charli Rose Burkhardt, Sound design by Kaden James, Lighting design by Wesley A. Cone, Costume design by Lisa Victoria Coleman, Production Stage Management by Sarah Brownstein, Assistant Stage Management by Daniel Kandra.
