ABOUT THE PLAY: “A THURBER CARNIVAL” is a series of comic sketches based on
the short
stories, cartoons and fables of James Thurber, one of America’s greatest
humorists. Co-written
by Thurber and Cleveland-born actor Burgess Meredith, the 1960 revue won a
Tony Award and
has influenced comedy revues from Laugh-In to Second City to Saturday Night
Live, as well as
TV series like “My World and Welcome To It” and movies like “The Secret
Life of Walter Mitty.”
Details about the play and James Thurber can be found on www.wikipedia.org.

ROLES: Cast members (5 men and 4 women) play multiple roles ranging from
mid-twenties to
mid-sixties. The revue’s various short sketches offer actors
improvisational/pantomime
opportunities.

SCHEDULE: Performances are March 2, 3, 4 (matinee), 9, and 10. Rehearsals
take place on
Sunday afternoons, as well as Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings thru
February 17. After
February 18, the rehearsal schedule will add evenings to accommodate tech
and dress
rehearsals.
