Lex-Ham Community Theater Presents PIZZAZZ 8/6 Thru 8/9

By:

The Lex-Ham Community Theater will present Hugh Leonard's one-act comic gem, Pizzazz, August 6-9, 2009. The play is directed by Mishia Burns Edwards.

In Pizzazz, while waiting to rent a cabin cruiser on the River Shannon, two apparent strangers, Marion and Conroy, find themselves seemingly brought together by fate. Marion, an outgoing American, persists in trying to engage Conroy in conversation much to his dismay. But all is not as it seems. Or is it?

Hugh Leonard, one of Ireland's leading playwrights for the past 50 years, died last February.

Performances of Pizzazz will be:

August 6, 8:00 p.m.
O'Gara's Garage, 164 Snelling Avenue North, Saint Paul
Pay what you can

August 8, 8:00 p.m.
Black Box Theater, Concordia University-St. Paul, 312 N Hamline Avenue, Saint Paul
Pay what you can

August 9, 4:00 p.m.
Irish Fair of Minnesota, Minnesota Centennial Showboat by Harriet Island
Free admission to the Irish Fair

Lex-Ham Community Theater has been producing quality theatrical experiences for and by the residents of the Lexington-Hamline and surrounding neighborhoods in St. Paul since 1996.
