BERGEN COUNTY PLAYERS TO HOLD OPEN AUDITIONS
FOR MARC CAMOLETI?S BOEING BOEING
Boeing - Boeing
By Marc Camoleti
Directed by Alyson Cohn
BCP is known for mounting great comedies, and the first appearance of BOEING BOEING, an hilarious French farce about an American businessman living in Paris who juggles three different ?air hostesses,? promises to shine on the Little Firehouse stage. Nominated for six Tony Awards in 2008 and winner of Best Revival of a Play, this sex comedy ??is not smutty at all. It?s deliciously, deliriously innocent. A masterpiece that levitates low burlesque into high comedy!? (Ben Brantley, NY Times). The final mainstage production of our milestone 80th season makes no promises?except that you?ll leave the theater in hysterics!

This 1960's French farce adapted for the English-speaking stage features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard, who has Italian, German, and American fiancees, each beautiful airline hostesses with frequent "layovers". Thanks to Bernard's keen study of flight schedules and the efficiency of his grumbling Gallic housekeeper, Berthe, he manages to keep "one up, one down and one pending" until unexpected schedule changes and newer, faster jets bring all three to Paris and Bernard's apartment at the same time. Arriving at the same time is Bernard's boyhood friend, Robert, who is as unworldly and naive as the day is long. We will be doing the revised 2008 Broadway revival version of the play.
All actors must possess a keen sense of split second comic timing and be adept at physical comedy.
