✨🎭 Meet the Cast Monday 🎭✨
The cast of our next production, "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers," is ready to entertain you! This classic 1969 comedy by Neil Simon follows Barney Cashman, a timid, middle-aged family man suffering a mid-life crisis. Desperate to experience the sexual revolution, he attempts to have three separate extramarital affairs—all of which hilariously fail.
🔦 Today we spotlight John Hall, most recently seen in our season opener "And Then There Were None." This time John uses his immeasurable talent to bring to life Barney. Barney is a well-meaning, timid family man experiencing a comical midlife crisis, desperate to experience a single romantic affair before it's too late.
💬 Why You Should Come:
“Neil Simon has a great ability to relate a very common experience in a very specific and fun way that feels universal. You come away feeling like you've learned something, grown a little, no matter who you are."
You won’t want to miss these performances when The Last of the Red Hot Lovers takes the stage May 28-June 6!
🎟️ Tickets are on sale now! Get them before they sell out! For more information, visit 👉 www.fslt.org
