'Scrambled McManus' coming to the Pearl |
|
September 2, 2016 |
 On
Friday and Saturday, September 16 and 17, the
Pearl Theater will present the one-man comedy,
Scrambled McManus, by humor writer Patrick F.
McManus, directed by Jack Delehanty and starring
Pat's indentured actor, Tim Behrens.
Pat and Tim personally selected some of their
favorite tales for this story stew, including
many audience favorites: The Night the Bear Ate
Goombaw; The Grasshopper Trap; the Camping Trip
with 100-year old Ed; First Date (with Melba
Peachbottom); the Mummy Story (or how I learned
to love the dark) and just for this show, Our
First Cannon.
The show appeals equally to diehard fans and to
newcomers to the wacky wonderful world of Pat
McManus and the denizens of his hometown of
Blight, Idaho.
McManus, one of the most popular humor writers
in the country, has penned 23 titles which have
sold more than 6 million copies. His five
one-man shows, all performed by Behrens, have
played to more than 450,000 people in 23 states.
Tickets are $18 advance $22 at the door or $12
for students and advance tickets are available
at Bonners Books, Mountain Mike’s and Eve’s
Leaves all have tickets available.
This project received support from the Western
States Arts Federation and the National
Endowment for the Arts.
The two performances will take place at the
Pearl Theater, 7160 Ash Street, Bonners Ferry.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. both nights, with an
acting workshop to take place before the Friday
night show.
