Running With Scissors return to Le Chat Noir with A Place in the Sun, an outrageous parody of the 1951 Oscar-winning film about teenage romance, class struggle, and water sports. This tale centers on George Eastman, who's weary of living with his pious parents and moves out West to work in his uncle's swimwear factory. Before his first day on the job, he falls for wealthy society gal Angela Vickers Brian Peterson, but, fearing she's out of his league, he settles for gawky girl-next-door Alice Tripp Dorian Rush. Complications ensue-including a careless roll in the hay with Alice and subsequent 1950s-style "trouble". Will George honor his obligation to Alice? Or will he follow his lust all the way to Angela's doorstep? And what on earth is all that waterskiing about? Tune in this summer and find out!

Once upon a Mattress (Summer Camp)
July 17, 2008 - July 21, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm;Sundays at 2:00 pm
Location: Westwego Performing Arts Theatre, 177 Sala Ave Westwego
Phone: (504) 885-2000
Based on the fairy tale of "The Princess and the Pea", Once Upon a Mattress was originally written by Mary Rodgers (daughter of Richard Rodgers) and Marshall Barer. The story centers around Prince Dauntless the Drab whose mother, Queen Agravain, seeking to keep the boy to herself, has declared that he will wed only a true princess of royal blood. When Princess Winnifred arrives dripping wet (having swam the moat!) and declares herself a contender for the Prince's hand, the Queen devises a clever test to determine whether this self-proclaimed princess is worthy of her son. A hilariously nutty retelling of the beloved fairy tale THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA. The show itself is a musical comedy gem. MATTRESS is a masterpiece of its kind!"-- Michael Portantiere, Theatermania, 2004.
