Your Theatre Announces Season Opener California Suite

Your Theatre, Inc., director Robin Richard of New Bedford, MA, has cast ten South Coast actors for the September Season Opening production of California Suite, by Neil Simon.

The ten cast members are Wade Martin of Berkley, Cheryl Day, Michael Mirpourian, Carol Oliva and Tony Oliva of Fairhaven, Susan Wing Markson of Lakeville and Lee Bonia, Gil Cardona-Erazo, Stephanie Paquette, and Daniel Gabriel Sallom of New Bedford. The stage manager is Traci Antil of Fairhaven. Lighting Design is by Larry Houbre, Jr. of New Bedford, set design is by Mark P. Fuller of New Bedford, and sound design is by William C. Smith of Dartmouth.

Neil Simon is at his wittiest best with this confection in four parts. Visitors from New York, Philadelphia, London and Chicago check into the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel and deal with squabbling exes, a custody battle, feuding friends, a cheating husband (caught with a passed-out hooker), and a bitter actress in town for the Academy Awards. A funny and sunny romp with laughs and zingers only Neil Simon could provide. A great show to open our Season!

Performance dates are September 8-10 and 15-17 at 8:00 p.m. and September 11 and 18 at 2:30PM. Performances are held at the wheelchair accessible Your Theatre, Inc.
