Falcon Theatre Announces Season of Comedy

By: BWW News Desk Jul. 01, 2008

Producer/Director Garry Marshall is thrilled to announce the Falcon Theatre's 2008-2009 All-Comedy Season: "Bringin' the Funny!" The Falcon's 7th subscription series will feature five plays, all comedies, including one World Premiere, one West Coast Premiere, one International Hit and two Troubadour Theater Company shows.

"At the Falcon, we know funny," says Falcon Founder and softball pitcher Garry Marshall. "With the success of our all-comedy line-up
last season, we decided to stick with what we do well and that's making people feel good!"

The season begins in the Forest of Arden as the Troubadour Theater Company juggles the Bard's comedy, As You Like It, and the music of U2 in AS U2 LIKE IT . Next, it's part comedy, part drama, part cha-cha-cha when Lily hires Michael to give her private dance lessons in the international hit play SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS. For the holidays, The Troubadour Theater Company returns with a revival of their musical coupling of Stevie Wonder's music and Frank Capra's classic film in IT'S A STEVIE WONDERFUL LIFE. Kicking off the New Year, Stan Cooper suffers some hilarious bedroom antics in the World Premiere play SURVIVING SEX. And finally, it's not so easy for Harriet and Leo to smile when they say divorce, especially in 1963, in the West Coast Premiere of Garry Marshall's EVERYBODY SAY "CHEESE!" Additional season information and season order forms available at www.FalconTheatre.com.

The Falcon Theatre is a 130-seat performing arts space located in the Burbank, California media district near Disney Studios, NBC, Warner Bros. and Universal Studios. Built by Director/Writer/Producer Garry Marshall and his daughter Kathleen Marshall, the Falcon opened its doors in November of 1997. The Falcon offers a 5-play subscription series from August through April, in addition to family shows in the summer and special "Garry Marshall Presents" productions on selected evenings throughout the year. The Falcon Theatre is located at 4252 Riverside Drive in Burbank, California.
