Following up last year's Leaving Iowa, David Frank will again be starring in a sentimental comedy in Clear Lake.
The Clear Lake Community Theater’s fall presentation will be the comedy, Over the River and Through the Woods by Joe DiPietro and published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc. David Frank plays Nick, a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents have retired and moved to Florida, but he manages to see both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he tells them that he has been offered a dream job in Seattle. The news doesn’t sit well, and thus begins a series of schemes by his grandparents to keep Nick around. Over the River and Through the Woods was last performed by the theater company in 2006 and was loved so much by the community that the troupe has wanted to bring it back ever since. "This play isn't just funny, but it also has heartfelt moments that'll keep you thinking long after you leave the theater," says Frank. "We can't get through a single rehearsal without laughing, and likewise there are moments in the play where you inevitably feel a tear starting to well up in your eye." Performance dates will be October 17-19 & 24-26, with evening shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Performances will be held at the Clear Lake Area Community Center Gymnatorium. Admission prices are $8.00 for adults, $7.00 for senior citizens, and $5.00 for ages 18 & under. |
