Get Ready to Laugh! Brand New Screwball Comedy Opens February 7

We’re getting ready to unveil a brand new, hilarious comedy! The World Premiere run of Bombshells begins Friday, February 7.

Lemuel “Mitch” Mitchell has been a fixture on Playhouse 2000 stages for years, and has become a very successful playwright. We’re very excited to get the chance to create the very first production of his latest comedy.

Bombshells pays homage to the “Screwball Comedies” of 1940’s Hollywood. With fast-paced wit and physical antics, we promise you’ll enjoy an evening filled with laughs.

Set at the end of the second world war, the play follows a group of four adventurous ladies looking to meet up with squad of war-time specialists looking for a fling in the midst of blacked-out London. Their romantic intentions are thwarted by a glory-seeking commander, a potential enemy spy, and a general lack of amorous experience, with hilarious consequences.

The cast includes Jesirae Kesler, Jessica Sturm, Tasha Remschel, and Becca Bigott as “Lulu,” “Mary,” “Garbo,” and “Jane;” Treston Woods, Brad Gilbert, Irec Hargrove, and Chris Burgess as “Stillwater,” “Mousehole,” “Jersey” and “Skatch;” plus David Remschel as the blowhard “Colonel.’

The play has been directed by Amy Goodyear, with Darcey Wagner acting as Stage Manager, assisted by Katie Bishop. The set is by Resident Scenic Designer Judd Vermillion, costumes by Diane Royce-Smith and Kevin Nixon, lighting by Nicholas Boland, and sound by Jeffrey Brown.

Bombshells will be presented from February 7 through 23, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30, and Matinees on Sundays, February 16 and 23 at 2:30. General Admission tickets are just $24 each, and you can make reservations HERE
