BOEING BOEING ONSTAGE
Another New West talent is onstage in the next outing of the White Rock Players.
The theatre group is bringing the French farce Boeing Boeing to the stage March 2 to 19 at the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock.
Tegan Verheul, whose roots are in New West, stars as one of three flight stewardesses who have frequent stopovers in Paris during the Swinging ’60s – and who, unbeknownst to each other, are all engaged to the same man.
Marc Camoletti’s comedy is set against the backdrop of a gorgeous French apartment designed by Andrea Olund and stylish costumes in modernized’60s style (hint: expect a lot of leg) by Stella Gardner.
The show also features Stefanie Colliar, Kirstin Shale, Alexander Morris, Robert Feher and Robyn Bradley.
It’s onstage Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees March 6 and 13 at 2:30 p.m.
The Coast Capital Playhouse is at 1532 Johnston Rd., White Rock. Check out www.whiterockplayers.ca for all the details, or call the box office at 604-536-7535.
