The Sunshine Boys To Open FPST Season
Neil Simon’s hit comedy
The Sunshine Boys will make its long awaited Fort Peck Summer Theatre debut in July, after being canceled just three days before opening night in 2020 due to COVID.
“Rivalry, memories, and lots of laughs are certain to resurface when a former vaudeville team grudgingly re-unites for a CBS television special,” said an FPST press release. The comedy will be directed by original Fort Peck Summer Theatre company member Neal Lewing, who also takes a leading role alongside Louis Jepson, Mike Gillpatrick, Jarret Buchholz and Karen Lewing.
Neal and Karen Lewing run Port Polson Players at Flathead Lake and met at Fort Peck Summer Theatre when they were both company members in the 1970s.
The Sunshine Boys runs May 31 through June 9, with showtimes Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays matinees at 4 p.m.
Following The Sunshine Boys, the 2024 season continues with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (June 14 –30), Bonnie & Clyde (July 5 – 21), Cinderella (July 26–Aug. 11) and Honky Tonk Laundry (Aug. 16–Sept. 1).
