LAGUNA PLAYHOUSE HEATS UP THIS SUMMER

WITH THREE SIZZLING SHOWS

 

 

With Glori Fickling GHoneyWest

 

The Laguna Playhouse heats up this summer with three sizzling shows guaranteed to have audiences laughing—and singing!

The summer season opens July 6 and runs through August 29 with the Orange County premiere of Life Could Be a Dream, L.A.’s long-running hit musical. This summer also brings the return of two wildly popular shows. First, everyone’s favorite “Sister” returns with ’Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3, which runs Monday nights from July 12 through August 9. Then, back by popular demand after two sold out performances in May, comedienne Rita Rudner brings her stand-up show to The Laguna Playhouse August 15-16 and 22-23.

Life Could Be a Dream

SH-BOOM! From the “marvelous” mind of Roger Bean, creator of the Marvelous Wonderettes and Winter Wonderettes, comes a story of four guys trying their last chance at fame and fortune. Denny, Eugene, Skip, and Wally form a singing group to enter and win the local radio contest and realize their dreams of making it to the big time!  This long-running hit musical played to sold-out houses after opening in Los Angeles last August, and promises to do the same here in Laguna. This Orange County premiere features the original five actors reprising their roles for the Laguna Playhouse. Featuring such classic songs as “Stay (Just a Little Bit Longer),” “Earth Angel,” “Runaround Sue,” “The Great Pretender,” and of course the title song, Life Could Be A Dream is musical trip down memory lane that will leave audiences laughing, singing and cheering. Winner of multiple Ovation Awards, L.A. Drama Critics Circle Awards, and L.A. Weekly Awards. Tickets: $35-70.

July 12- August 9, 2010

(Monday evenings)

‘Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3

Class is back in session this summer when Maripat Donovan returns to the Laguna Playhouse as everyone’s favorite “Sister” in an encore presentation of her hysterical “one-nun” show.  Originally presented as a world premiere at the Laguna Playhouse in the spring of 2009, ’Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3 finds Sister offering up her hilarious lessons on the Sacraments of Marriage and Last Rites, including her own wacky version of “The Newlywed Game.” Classroom participation is a must, so bring along your sweetie and your sense of humor for some quality time with Sister, the feistiest new couples counselor in town.  As always, each performance is unique and will appeal to people of all ages and faiths. Tickets: $35-55

 August 15-16 and 22-23, 2010

 An Evening with Rita Rudner

After two sold-out performances in May, award-winning comedian and Las Vegas headliner Rita Rudner brings her sophisticated wit and clever one-liners back to The Laguna Playhouse for four additional performances this summer. Rudner’s sharp timing and soft-spoken voice have become her trademarks while delivering hilarious and witty observations on everyday life.  Rudner has spent the last 10 years as a headliner at Harrah’s on the famous Las Vegas Strip, but is relishing in the opportunity to perform locally—she and her husband own a home in Monarch Beach. Tickets: $45-55

Laguna Journal's restaurant editor, Glori Fickling, has been writing industry news and reviews for a wide variety of newspapers and magazines since the mid-sixties, most recently on line ocnow.com (terminated temporarily last month by Cox Communications) and along the way, our own popular Laguna Journal for which she has contributed features over the past ten years. Early on she was a West Coast fashion editor for internationally renowned Women's Wear Daily, fashion stylist for a major department store, introduced fashion shows along the South Coast, and designed her own line of maternity clothes based on the A-line concept prior to its exploitation by fashion icon, Yves St. Laurent. Her claim to fame, however she says, was co-authoring with her late-great husband, Forrest Ellison "Skip' Fickling, the eleven world famous Honey West mystery novels which became an ABC TV series in 1965 continuing on to garner a coveted Golden Globe, an Academy nomination and a Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allen Poe award.
