Casting for “Boeing Boeing” Completed!

Featuring:  Jerry Gundersheimer, Gaynell Dosheir, Lisa Avila, Donna House, Laurie Cutler, Morgan Hernard

Directed by: Anthony Nelson

            Casting is completed and rehearsals are underway for SCP’s ^th anniversary season.  “Boeing Boeing” a comedy written by Marc Camoletti and translated by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans is slated to open on the main stage April 4^th.  “This is going to be a very fun show, and we are having a ton of fun in rehearsals already; it’s kind of a refreshing departure from the gravity of the “Rabbit Hole” themes.  “Boeing Boeing” is a farce centered on an American living in Paris Bernard (Jerry Gundersheimer) and is attempt to a have a relationship with three different women.  His great plan involves three different flight attendants from around the globe; Gloria (Donna House) from NYC, Gabriella (Laurie Cutler) from Italy, and Gretchen (Gaynell Doshier) from Germany.  His friend Robert (Morgan Hernard) from back home in Wisconsin unexpectedly arrives at this door step and the wackiness ensues!  There is also the classic un-happy French maid Berthe (Lisa Avila) who came with the flat; and is in charge of keeping Bernard’s secret.

Boeing Boeing Cast

fourth show of its 65

Rounding out the talented cast is an equally talented crew: Pam Sanza has returned to Stage Manage the production along with Deborah Barrax as Assistant Stage Manager, Understudy, and Prop Goddess.  A new-comer to the SCP Community Tony Poncetti is costume designer for the production, and he has already begun making the authentic 1960’s era flight attendant costumes from scratch.

Here’s an interesting fun fact about this production of “Boeing Boeing” tells Artistic Director of SCP Anthony Nelson.  “Jerry Gundersheimer who is playing the lead Bernard has a brother, Lee Gundersheimer who is a professional theatre director up in Minnesota.  His brother directed a production of BB for the Duluth Playhouse, where I worked before re-locating here to Sherman—and his brother actually had the same two lead male actors I had in two of the productions I directed for the Playhouse. The theatre is a small world”
