Happy Landings
Broom Street Theater 1119 Williamson St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
media release: Broom Street Theater is proud to present Happy Landings, a world-premiere comedy by Pamela Monk. The play will run from June 3 - 25.
Happy Landings is a zany comedy in which authors rework well-known tragedies, giving them joyful endings. In Little Women, for example, Beth survives her illness and makes her living playing piano. Then there's the writer who pens biographies from the point of view of insects. And the guy who fakes his death to get published. Add to that, unlikely romances and fake swords. What could be more fun?
The cast includes Joel Davidson, Sara Beth Hahner, Meaghan Heires, Cynthia Klawitter, Kimberly Onyekwe, Bryan Royston, Steven E. Smith, and Martha White.
Longtime Broom Street director Jan Levine Thal takes the helm. "Happy Landings is a cautionary tale about lying in a period where liars abound in our culture. Loved that. And it celebrates literature and theater. What could be better?", Thal says.
The show will run Thursday-Saturday at 8pm. Saturday, June 25, will close out the run with a 2pm matinee.
Online tickets are $22, while pay-what-you-can walk-up tickets are always on sale at the door one half hour before performance. Broom Street Theater, located at 1119 Williamson Street, has no onsite parking, so allow extra time to find street parking. Patrons are encouraged to visit www.bstonline.org for more information.
