Keystone Repertory Theater: "Last of the Red Hot Lovers"

Waller Hall Studio Theater

Meet Barney Cashman, a middle-aged restaurant manager who has a very nice married existence. But he's tired of existing; he wants to live — before it's too late. Maybe one afternoon of passion could be so exhilarating, so vivid, that the memory alone would sate his desire for more. Three women, three afternoons, three shots at living in Technicolor. IUP alumnus Nathaniel Moser directs this oft-overlooked early work of Neil Simon’s; by revealing it’s humanity in a hilarious fashion. Performances will be held May 30-31 and June 1, at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, June 2, at 2:00 p.m., in the Waller Hall Studio Theater. Tickets will be available in advance at the HUB Box Office approximately 10 days prior to the first show. Tickets will also be sold at the door starting 45 minutes before the performance. Tickets are $14 regular admission, $12 for senior citizens and groups of 15 or more, and $10 with an I-Card.
