About the Show

A DIFFERENT SORT OF COMEDY NEXT

Good Evening. Tonight’s play is really featherweight entertainment for light midsummer fun. There may be three or four serious lines in the play, but we haven’t found them yet. Life is serious, we know, but once in a while you have to call “time out” and just enjoy people. That’s the sum total of our pleasant goal tonight. So to all you tired businessmen, harried housewives, struggling scholars and students… “Time out”… for two hours of relaxing laughter.

I’m anxious to tell you of our next show, another comedy but of a different sort. “The Lady’s Not for Burning” is not only a very funny play but an example of how the King’s English really should be handled. John Gielgud, Claire Bloom and Richard Burton were in the original and that should clue you in to the fact that the script is top-flight material. In addition to the high-flung comedy, there will also be visual beauty with the best efforts of our unusually fine costume crew. The scene is set “more or less in the 15th century,” which lavish fullness of material, color and visual interest. As a final note of pride, we bring you the combined talents of Jean Dance, Richard Wentz, Adrian Lanser, Van VanderMeer Alex Pasquariello, plus a group of faces new to the Boal Barn. Whatever you’re looking for in theatre-going, you’ll find a good measure of it in “The Lady’s Not for Burning.” We offer you talented performers, sparking beauty and bright, clever and funny dialogue. We intend to have ourselves “a ball.” Come Join us!
