Barney Cashman will have his hands full as he tries to juggle romance with three different women in Neil Simon蘑菇视频 鈥淟ast of the Red Hot Lovers鈥� 3 p.m. March 5 at The State Theatre Center for the Arts in downtown Uniontown.
鈥淚t蘑菇视频 a great role. I am thrilled I get to play it,鈥� said Fran Prisco who will take on the role of Cashman in Walnut Street Theatre蘑菇视频 production that is coming to The State Theatre.
It is the 1960s and the concept of 鈥渇ree love鈥� is abound and middle-aged, married man, Cashman wants in on some of the action before the parade passes him by.
In order to sow his wild oats he sets his sights on three different women.
According to a release from Walnut Street Theatre, 鈥淗is targets; a bawdy bundle of fun who likes smooth whiskey and other women蘑菇视频 husbands, a young actress too kooky for words and a neurotic housewife who happens to be married to his best friend.鈥�
In this production, joining Prisco is Karen Peakes who will take on all three women蘑菇视频 roles.
鈥淯sually the play is done with three different actresses, and we are going it with one. It is just great fun to play with her in all three different roles,鈥� said Prisco. 鈥淚t makes you happy to go to work every night. She is very talented.鈥�
Being in a cast of just two, according to Prisco, is a lot different that acting with a larger ensemble.
