Ben Robertson in “The Owl and the Pusscat” in Keene

November 17th, 2011 | by admin

Performances of the warm and funny “The Owl and the Pussycat” by Bill Manhoff will be Nov. 11-12 and Nov. 16-19 at 7:30 p.m. The play is about two people— Doris, a prostitute, and Felix, a clerk in a bookstore—who harbor delusions. She thinks of herself as an actress/model and he sees himself as a talented writer. When they fall for each other, their romance provides the springboard for them to discover and accept the truth about themselves. This appealing comedy is perennially popular because of the strong and likable, and very human, characters.

Rated PG-13 for adult situations. Directed by Kim Dupuis. Featuring Dakota Benedetto and Ben Robertson.

General admission $15, seniors and students $12; performances at 72 Winter Street in the Keene Public Library Annex. Call 603-352-5657 for reservations.
