Comedies have become a cherished tradition during the holiday season, providing a delightful escape from the chaos and a chance to share in the joyous spirit with family and friends.
Boeing Boeing: A Farce Above the Rest
Directed by Rose Killeen, our production of Boeing Boeing promises to be a rollicking ride from takeoff to landing. This classic farce follows the misadventures of Bernard, a bachelor with three flight attendant fiancées from different countries.
