July 27, 2015 (San Diego’s East County) - Lamplighters Community Theatre continues its 78th season with “The Supporting Cast,” a comedy to be staged August 14 through September 13, when Ellen, the wife of a successful author, writes a sizzling novel her friends are thrilled — until she invites them to her Malibu beach house and reveals that they are the characters!
Written by George Furth, the Tony Award-winning author of Company, this lighthearted comedy is the theatrical equivalent of a fun and frothy beach read. Sparks fly when Ellen's friends see their warts-and-all depictions in this tell-all book, but will they change their tune when they learn the book is being made into a movie?
"Terrifically funny...[with] enough visual jokes to build a miniature Mack Sennett comedy." - Variety
"Written with the expertise of a humorist who knows the transcontinental scene from New York delicatessens to Malibu beach houses." - Christian Science Monitor
The Supporting Cast is directed by Kristen Fogle, and produced by Mark Loveless. Fogle most recently performed the lead role in Goodbye Charlie at Lamplighters and directed the hit comedy Murder at the Howard Johnson’s last season.
“Those that enjoyed Murder at the Howard Johnson’s,” says Fogle, “can also expect equally quirky characters, silly comedy fare, and fast paced shenanigans in our current show." Our talented and comedic cast features Caroline Amiguet, Andrea Bensussen, Cecily Keppel, Ray-Anna Ranae, and Michael Shantz.
