Leddy Center's THE STAR SPANGLED GIRL Will Open on Today

Spring is nearly here and so is Leddy's latest production! Neil Simon's "The Star Spangled Girl" will open our 42nd Season on Friday, March 11, with performances on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30pm and Sundays and one Wednesday, March 16, at 2pm!!

The Star Spangled Girl is the story of a love triangle, mixed with politics. Like many of Simon's plays this one is of the boy-meets-girl, boy-gets-girl genre, and as Paul McCartney famously asked of silly love songs, "What's wrong with that?' It is witty, fast-paced, and oh, so entertaining.

Andy and Norman are radicals who barely make a living working on their magazine, Fallout, which is dedicated to fighting "the system" in 1960's America. Sophie, a former Olympic swimmer, is an all-American, Southern girl who moves into the apartment next door. It's love at first sight (or, as the play has it, first smell) for Norman, but his feelings are not reciprocated. Norman's obsession with Sophie makes Andy hire her just to keep the magazine going. Then comes the twist you'll have to come and see!

Starring John Seymour as Norman Cornell, Dan Holmes as Andy Hobart, and Melissa Opalka as Sophie Rauschmeyer, this is one play you will love from beginning to end. Performances are March 11 through March 20, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays and one Wednesday, March 16, at 2:00pm. Sponsored in part by NHPTV and partially sponsored by Seacoast Coke and The Shark at 102.1 and 105.3FM, tickets are $20 and can be purchased online 24/7 at leddycenter.org, or by visiting or calling the box office at 603-679-2781, Monday through Friday. Subscription Series (one ticket for each of our four shows and one concert in our Season 2016) are still available for $90 (cash or check only please) through our box office.
