Adrian College Theatre Announces 'Present Laughter' posted 4/11/07

ADRIAN, Mich. – The Adrian College theatre department announces the production of “Present Laughter,” a play by Noel Coward. It is scheduled April 12, 13 and 14 in the Downs Hall Theatre.

This fast-paced and witty farce of the 1930s, concerns a well-known, 40-ish actor, Gary Essendine, who is about to set off for an extended tour in Africa. Essendine enjoys all the advantages of fame: women who can't resist him, fawning fans, and late nights of partying, followed by late mornings of undisturbed sleeping. With typical Coward repartee and dazzling wit, he sidesteps complications and mounting confusion.

The theatre is located in Downs Hall on Madison Street. Tickets are $7 for the general public and $5 for students, seniors and Adrian College staff. Thursday and Friday performances are scheduled at 8 p.m. and Saturday performances are scheduled at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
