Hey, I told you this was a great one – the opening week’s crowds have agreed with me on that. Now’s your chance to make sure you don’t miss the show, and you wantt o miss the chance to laugh, either…here’s more from Jan Bollwinkel-Smith at the Community Theatre:
Final Shows and Bargain Night for Fall Play!
There are just a few more chances to catch San Juan Community Theatre’s zany French farce, The Ladies Man!
The play returns this Thursday, October 13 for bargain night at 7:30 (tickets are just $15 for adults and $8 for student reserved). The play continues on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm and then it’s the final show, a matinee at 2 pm on Sunday.

Written by Charles Morey and adapted from the Feydeau French farce, Tailleur pour Dames, the play centers on a physician (played by SJCT’s own Merritt Olsen) who tells “one, tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie” to cover an innocent but embarrassing indiscretion. From that single untruth tumbles a cascade of increasingly convoluted deceptions, misunderstandings and mistaken identities.
Compounding his troubles are a suspicious wife (Penelope Haskew), a gorgon of a mother-in-law (Deb Langhans), an outrageously aggressive female patient (Susan Williams), her violently jealous Prussian husband (John Davis), a well-intentioned friend with a lisp (Bo Turnage), a valet with attitude (Mason Turnage), a maid with a secret (Shannon Kelley) and more slamming doors than realistic architecture should ever accommodate!
