Neil Simon's Broadway hit takes place in what was once one of Manhattan's elite tenant hotels. It is here that Willie Clark, an aging vaudeville performer, rants, rages and laments the passing of his glory days on stage. For 43 years, Willie was one-half of the tremendously successful comedy team, "Lewis and Clark." Since Al Lewis retired from the act 11 years ago, Willie has been in a steady state of anger over what he considers to be a premature retirement. Willie's lonely life is, of course, Al's fault. Now CBS wants them to appear in the History of Comedy Special and their reunion sparks some hilarious confrontations.
The Ferndale Rep is pleased to have Renee Grinnell direct. Our cast for this show is a mix of old friends and new. Two familiar faces return to our stage as the aging vaudevillians: Bob Clark as Willie Clark and J.R. Paterson as Al Lewis. Dmitry Tokarsky appears for his first time on our stage as Willie's nephew, Ben Silverman. We also look forward to seeing acting newcomers Diane Woodford, Lori Maciel, and Vikki Charlton. Design credits include Daniel L. Lawrence (set) and Jesse Talbert (lights) and Vicki Charlton (costumes). Stage management is in the capable hands of Diane Woodford.
Funny and delightful, Al and Willie will have you laughing all evening. For information and ticket reservations, please call (707) 786-5483.
