Popular local actors Charlie Flynn-McIver and Scott Treadway team up for the hilarious farce Boeing-Boeing, opening February 16 and running through March 13. The play is a 1960s farce about three airline stewardesses, two French bachelors, and a brand new Boeing jet. Bernard’s love life is a perfect balancing act—when one of his stewardess girlfriends touches down, the next one is already in the air. What could possibly go wrong?

Treadway and Flynn-McIver star as the beleaguered bachelors, joined by Maria Buchanan, Vivian Smith, and Julia Vanderveen as Bernard’s girlfriends, and Paige Posey as Bertha, Bernard’s caustic housekeeper.

Boeing-Boeing was written by French playwright Marc Camoletti, and made its English-language debut in London’s West End in 1962. The play proved so popular it ran in London for seven years, and was adapted into a 1965 film starring Tony Curtis. Contemporary audiences will probably know it best from a recent Broadway revival.

Of the revival, The New York Times wrote: “You see, the appeal of Boeing-Boeing is the very opposite of what you might expect. It’s not smutty at all. It’s deliciously, deliriously innocent. I haven’t felt so much like a child, while watching a sex comedy, since I was, well, a very young child, taken by his mother to the Billy Wilder movie Some Like It Hot.’”
