The Lakewood Playhouse is proud to present the opening show of its 77th Season: A FEW GOOD MEN by Aaron Sorkin!

This production will also mark the beginning of Lakewood's year-long celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the very building it does all of its productions in -- THE LAKEWOOD PLAYHOUSE THEATRE! From TAMING OF THE SHREW in its first year to AVENUE Q at the end of this season, Lakewood will have presented more than 300 productions at this venue, which was first built in 1965 by the Lakewood Arts Foundation.

A FEW GOOD MEN will be performed on Fridays, Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Performances will be tonight, September 11th, through October 11th, 2015 with Special Showings at 8:00pm on Thursday, September 17th (Pay What You Can Night) and 8:00pm on Thursday, June 18th ("Pay What You Can" Actor's Benefit). Our Ticket Prices are $25.00 (General Admission), $22.00 (Military), $21.00 (Seniors) and $19.00 (Students/Educators).

Presented in the Lakewood Playhouse's thrust configuration with seating facing the stage as well on both of its sides. This production of "A FEW GOOD MEN" will drop you right into the middle of this powerful military courtroom drama by Aaron Sorkin (the writer of THE WEST WING, NEWSROOM, THE SOCIAL NETWORK and THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION).

A FEW GOOD MEN will be directed by BEAU PRICHARD who was the director of our hit 2013 show THE WOMAN IN BLACK.

The Production Features a large cast filled with a number of returning actors from previous shows and some brand new performers to our stage! Featuring: Jacob Tice (Kaffee), Jim Rogers (Sam), Cassie Fastabend (Jo), Jimmy Gilletti (Jessep), Mason Quinn (Kendrick), Christian Carvajal (Markinson), Aaron Mohs-Hale (Dawson), Kathryn Jenkins (Downey), Jenifer Riefenbery (Judge), Curtis Beech (Stone), Darrel Shiley (Whiticker), David Byrd (Howard), Tom Phiel (Ross) John Carlson (Ensemble), Derek Mesford (Ensemble), Isaac Gutierrez (Marin) and Nena Curley (Sgt. At Arms).

This Broadway hit, about the trial of two Marines for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay, that sizzles on stage. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial. Winner of the 1990 World Theatre Award | Returning to the Lakewood Playhouse Stage for the first time since 2003.

**Parental Advisory: This show contains some mature subject matter.

The Lakewood Playhouse was founded in 1938 and has established itself with theatre that is both intimate and epic.
