Theatre--Performance

     After being closed for the last 9 months renovating the lobby, laying new carpeting and organizing the rest of the theatre, The Abbey Players are pleased to announce their new production Social Security, an adult comedy by Andrew Bergman.

    Think aging parents, rebellious college kids and baby boomers facing a mid-life crisis and that's the subject of this hysterical adult comedy!
 
      Barbara and David Kahn are successful and sophisticated art gallery owners living in Manhattan.  Barbara's frumpy stay-at-home sister Trudy and her bland CPA husband Martin Heyman live in the suburbs of Long Island.  Living with the Heymans is Sophie Greengrass, the stereotypical guilt producing, cantankerous Jewish mother of Barbara and Trudy.

      In the middle of a crisis, Trudy and Martin show up to unceremoniously dump Sophie off on Barbara and David.  Enter Barbara and David's best client, Maurice, a 98-year-old world class painter, and the sparks begin to fly.  Suddenly everyone discovers that seniors never lose interest in the opposite sex.

      Directed by Deborah Atchetee and Mickey Atchetee, Social Security will run April 2nd - May 1st, 2010 (Fridays, Saturdays and two Sunday Matinees--the 11th and 18th) with one Thursday performance (April 15th).


     Opening night, the traditional Patrons'/Premiere Night, is April 2nd, 2010.  Tickets for this event only are $35.00 per person and include dinner (seafood entree' for Good Friday), drinks, choice of two vegetables, roll and cake for dessert. 


     Tickets can be ordered online 24/7 at the Abbey Players website, or leave a message at the box office by calling 337-893-2442.  Regular performance tickets are $15.00 and Sunday matinees are $10.00.
