BEAU JEST Coming Soon to The Greenbelt Arts Center
By: Julie Musbach Oct. 10, 2017
Sarah's close and loving family would certainly object -- very loudly -- if they were to meet her choice of boyfriend. What to do, what to do? He's coming to celebrate Dad's birthday! Aha! Clever Sarah has chosen a "pretend" beau that will meet with everyone's approval! Or will he? This charming and delightful comedy may provide a solution to her dilemma.

BEAU JEST Director's Notes
Beau Jest has been one of my favorite plays since I performed the role of Miriam at Silver Spring Stage years ago. The plot touches on family values, on the relationships of parents and children to one another, on the maturing of a young woman, on the way choices are made, on the complexity of love ebbing and flowing -- all in a charming, fun-filled three-act comedy. The people are real. You probably know a mother and father like Miriam and Abe, whatever their religious or ethnic roots. Joel-the-shrink could be your cousin. Your good friends might have experienced a situation similar to the Chris-Sarah-Bob one -- probably without the "rent-a-beau" complexity. James Sherman has made us face these much-ados with laughter and thought. Relax and enjoy the antics of Beau Jest.
