THIS FRIDAY: The Magnificent Montague: Boo Boo Foo Foo

The Grant County Radio Theatre West will present The Magnificent Montague: Boo Boo Foo Foo at Lakes Area Theatre, Friday, April 13 at 7:00 p.m. Meet Edwin Montague and his wife Lily Boheme, big stars of stage and screen.   Lily receives a phone call from a gal looking for Edwin who says “Just tell Boo Boo that Foo Foo called and I’m at the Astor Hotel.” With a lot of encouragement from their wisecracking maid, Agnes, Lily is convinced Edwin is up to no good.  Will Edwin ever convince Lily he is a faithful husband?  Or will he be in the dog house for good? Add to this chaos a jealous husband, a big mouth Texan, a showgirl, a stretch limo, and a case of mistaken identity and the result is one lively comedy. The show is directed by Betsy Ostenson and stars Jerrod Petersen, Dany Pederson, Samantha Olson, Tim Ray, Alaine Risbrudt, Michelle Toso, and Curt Ostenson.  The music is by Arlyn Swenson, Jay Johnson, Bryan Poyzer and Wally Warhol.
