TBTA is happy to announce that Joel Paley, the author and lyricist of the award-winning Off-Broadway musical comedy Ruthless!, will be directing TBTA's production of Last of the Red Hot Lovers!
 
Neil Simon's classic comedy centers on middle-aged, married, Barney Cashman who wants to join the sexual revolution before it’s too late. He takes advantage of the fact that his mother’s NYC apartment is unoccupied during the day. Each of the three acts sees Barney bring a different woman to the apartment. A gentle soul with no experience in adultery, he fails in each of three seductions – a sexpot who likes cigarettes, whiskey, and other women’s husbands, a young actress friend who he discovers is completely out of her mind, and his wife’s best friend, a frustrated, staunch moralist. Being a beginner at adultery, and with the vastly different personalities of the women to contend with, things go hilariously, and sometimes poignantly, wrong each time.
 
Audition is open call on Sunday, March 7 @ 6:30 p.m.  at The Brookfield Theatre for the Arts, 182 Whisconier Rd., Brookfield (behind the library). Call-backs are scheduled for Sunday, March 14. Production runs April 30 through May 15th. More information can be found on our web site: http://www.brookfieldtheatre.org/audition.html
