The Good Doctor, a comedy by Neil Simon, Opening December 2!

Theatre South has been working since early September to present Neil Simon's THE GOOD DOCTOR.  Student Director, Anna Bianco has done a fabulous job with directing.
The Good Doctor is set in Russia during the 19th century and written in the style of Chekhovian comedy. It is composed of a series of scenes in which the only connecting thread is the character of the Writer originally played by Christopher Plummer, who is obviously Anton Chekhov. Simon uses several direct references to Chekhov in the play: The writer's opening monologue quotes Trigorn, the writer in The Seagull, directly and one of the scenes, "The Audition" centers around an untried actress auditioning for The Writer by playing all of Three Sisters. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Doctor_%28play%29).
The show will open to BHSS and New Tech students Thursday, December 2 as an all day matinee. At this time, English classes will be invited to view a teaser of the show. The show opens to the public Friday, December 3 at 7:30pm.

This production is a black-box style, so seating is limited.  Tickets are $5.00 for students and $10.00 for adults. You can buy tickets at the door 45 minutes before curtain.

Hope to see you there!
