Coronado Playhouse to Stage BOEING, BOEING

Boeing, Boeing is a bedroom farce originally written in French by Marc Camoletti in 1961 and quickly adapted onto the English-speaking stage. Translated by Beverley Cross, the Guinness Book of World Records named it the most performed French comedy ever. Boeing, Boeing takes off with the outrageous lifestyle of an American ex-patriot named Bernhard living in Paris. He is the ultimate ladies man dating three airline stewardesses in the early 1960's at the peak of the Golden Age of air travel. His affairs seem to be intermingling well until the Boeing company develops faster airplanes that lead to a romantic nightmare of crossed schedules, near misses in the bedroom and riotous consequences.

During the six week run of performances we will host our "Affairs of the Heart" fundraising drive. Coronado Playhouse, the Community's Theatre, is raising money and awareness for the San Diego Chapter of the American Heart Association. Come to any performance and help in the mission to fight cardiovascular disease and stroke. Make a donation of any amount at our interactive display and create a personalized heart in your honor or the honor of a loved one. Your thoughtful token will be shown in a string of hearts alongside others who have given to the cause. Also join us in support of the American Heart Association's annual National Walking Day April 1st. During the lunch hour that day 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.; lace up your sneakers and take a walk to Horton Square Downtown, 225 Broadway 92101 for free health screenings, food and giveaways: http://sandiegan.com/events/american-heart-association-union-banks-national-walking-day-2015/.
