Huntington Playhouse news

June is going to be a very busy month for Huntington Playhouse!

The comedy "Leading Ladies" opens on June 17 and plays through July 3 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and a matinee on Sunday, June 27, at 2:00 p.m. In the play, two English actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. Hearing that an old lady in York, Pa., is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces!

The theatre is also planning a New York Theatre tour in 2011. The trip will include a motor coach to New York City, three nights at the Sheraton Manhattan, two Broadway Musicals, dinner at Sardi's, tours of the NBC studios, a boat tour of lower Manhattan, tour guides and subway passes. 

Fratello's Restaurant is also supporting the theatre by donating 10% of each dine-in meal every Tuesday during the months of June and July.  This is the second year they have supported the theatre. Fratello's is located at 32085 Electric Blvd. in Avon Lake. Eat for the Arts!
