AUBURN – The Terrence McNally comedy “It’s Only A Play” will open Community Little Theatre’s 83rd season, starting on Jan. 19
The show takes place in the opening night after-party at the first-time producer’s Manhattan townhouse. Guests come and go as the cast and team anxiously await the first reviews. With his career on the line, the playwright Peter hides in the bedroom with his best friend (a television star), his novice producer, his doped-up diva, his genius British director, a lethal drama critic, and a fresh-off-the-bus coat check attendant. It’s alternately raucous, ridiculous — and proves that sometimes the biggest laughs happen offstage. The play includes adult themes and strong language.
Cast and crew include Sophie Messina (stage manager), Benjamin Simpson, Roger Philippon, Eileen Messina (director), Mark Hazard (assistant director) Sarah Duncan, Brian Pfohl, Jennifer Groover, John Blanchette and Jamie Bannister.
“It’s Only A Play” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28; and at 2 p.m. .m. on Jan. 22 and 29. For ticket information, visit laclt.com/box-office or call 207-783-0958.
