Totem Pole playhouse is set to present its first production of Travels With My Aunt, which will run from tonight, June 19 to July 1st, 2012. Totem Pole will stage the theatrical, globe-spanning adventure and has already moved to put the pieces into place for a memorable evening of theater.
Ficca has tapped Playhouse veterans Sean Fri (Honus and Me) and JJ Kaczynski (The Complete History of America (abriged)), Bradley Wayne Smith (Southern Crossroads), and Jon Liebetrau (Hank Williams: Lost Highway) to star in the fast paced tale of a retired bank manager, his eccentric aunt, and their voyage from Paris to Istanbul on the Orient Express. At the helm for the project will be long time Playhouse director David Hemsley Caldwell (Hank Williams: Lost Highway).On the technical side of things, the tricky changes in locale will be handled by long time resident scenic designer Jim Fouchard. "Our programming the last three years has been so challenging, fun and exciting," said Fouchard. "I can't wait to keep that going with the extremely clever Travels With My Aunt. I think it's the perfect fit for our stage."
The fast paced comedy was adapted from Greene's novel by Scottish dramatist Giles Havergal and was first staged at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre in 1989. It has since had successful productions in London, San Francisco, and off-Broadway in New York. Essis & Sons Carpet One and Rotz & Stonesifer, CPA serve as the sponsors of this show.
