“Last Night of Ballyhoo” on stage
Lone Star College-CyFair’s fall production of “The Last Night of
Ballyhoo” is a hilarious, poignant and endearing play for all ages.
Playwright Alfred Uhry not only won a best play Tony for “The Last
Night of Ballyhoo,” but he also won a Pulitzer Prize and an Oscar
for “Driving Miss Daisy.”
Set in Atlanta, Georgia in December 1939 when “Gone With the
Wind” is having its world premiere, Hitler is invading Poland, and
WWII is nigh, Atlanta’s elitist German Jews are more concerned with
who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the holiday season.
Especially concerned is the Freitag family: bachelor Adolph, his
widowed sister, Beulah (Boo) Levy, and their also widowed
sister-in-law, Reba. Will Boo succeed in snaring a husband, a member
of one of the finest Jewish families in the South, for her daughter
Lala? Will Sunny, Lala’s cousin, and Joe, Adolph’s assistant,
avoid the mass of prejudice that stand in their way? Will Lala ever
get to Ballyhoo?
Ron Jones directs this charming and bittersweet romantic play in
which the Freitag family is pulled apart, only to be mended again with
plenty of comedy, romance and revelations along the way. Among the
cast members are guest artists Claire Hart-Palumbo, Randy Polk and
Rebecca Tindel-Bivens. The cast also includes LSC-CyFair students Andy
Crum, Alexandra Gates, Matt Schulte and Jenna Simmons.
Interpreting students from the college will be interpreting the
performance at 3 p.m. Sunday, November 23rd. It will be held in the
Main Stage Theatre, located in the Center for the Arts building on the
Barker Cypress campus at 9191 Barker Cypress.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students w/ID.
Group rates are available.
