Another Show for the Fall - "I Ought to Be in Pictures"

Yet another show I missed! My pal Stephen sends along this press release:

Arts Resources for the Tri-State proudly presents Neil Simon's I Ought to Be in Pictures.

The show will be presented Oct. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 4 and 11 at 3 p.m.

ARTS is pleased to stage this comedic drama by one of America's most beloved playwrights, Neil Simon. He is the author of over 30 plays including Come Blow Your Horn, Barefoot in the Park and The Odd Couple.

Libby Tucker is a 19-year-old girl from Brooklyn who has virtually raised herself and is ready to confront her father Herb who she hasn't seen since she was 3. She hitchhikes to California to face her father and to jumpstart her career in the movies. Thrown for a loop, Herb tries to balance his life between his now grown up daughter, his failing screen writing career, and a relationship with his girlfriend Steffy.

The New York Post has called I Ought to Be in Pictures, "Terrific... sweet, dandy and touching... a mature, memorable play that brings joy to the season" and WCBS-TV2 reviews stated it was "A finely tuned theatrical blend of hilarity, honesty, directly and deeply felt emotion. Go."

The cast for ARTS production is Alissa Fetherolf as Libby Tucker, Clint McElroy as Herb Tucker, and Leann Haines as Steffy Blondell. This show will be the directing debut for Stephen Vance. The producers for the show are Jeanette Bills and Amy Knell.

All performances will be held at The Renaissance Center (Old Huntington High School), 900 East 8th Street in Huntington, WV. Show tickets will be $15 per person. For Reservations Please Call (304) 733-2787. Tickets will also be available at the door. For more information, visit the ARTS website at www.733arts.org.
