THEATER – NEW

Meadowbrook Theatre [British correct here] is currently showing
Boeing-Boeing, a superb comedy examining the joys and dilemmas of one man managing, at one time, three fiancés, a maid, and the arrival of a high school friend.

The play is funny, fast-paced and spiced with just the right amount of adult fun.

The Friday night performance was well attended and the ending was … a joy in itself.
We have been going for years and are often dismayed at the poor attendance.

The Theatre is fully professional and rents space on the campus of Oakland University.

The Theatre is self-supporting.

It is a sad testimony to whatever that suburbanites are willing to pay higher prices and to journey to Detroit for ‘road shows’ whilst ignoring this most enjoyable venue of largely local talent.

Kudos to the Meadowbrook faithful.

Something else to theater lovers who disdain the local for the ‘big city’.
