PPI PRESENTS THIEVES' CARNIVAL
Proscenium Players, Inc. announces it’s third show of the 2009-2010 season, Thieves’ Carnival by Jean Anouilh. This most successful of Anouilh's works in the United States is an excellent lark loaded with humorous whims, romance and masquerades. The scene is a palatial home where two attractive young girls reside. The home is invaded by three affectionate thieves on the one hand and by a country bumpkin on the other. A lovely romance blooms instantly between one of the girls and the youngest thief. Being a very honest fellow, he cannot in conscience accept her love and instead turns with vengeance toward his job. But she is swifter in her wiles than he is in his. Show dates are March 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20 at 7:30 pm on stage at the Children’s Museum of NN, 813 N. Carson Street, Carson City. Enter on the Ann Street door. Thieves’ Carnival is directed by David Josten and produced by Pat Josten. Ticket prices are $15 for general admission and $12 for PPI Members/Students/Seniors.
