February is the month of love, and “Boeing Boeing” certainly rises to the occasion with the leading man engaged to three women at once!

This play is recommended for adults and mature teens.

Written by Marc Camoletti, “Boeing Boeing” is the most performed French play worldwide. And for good reason: The American version won the Tony Award for “Best Revival of a Play,” and it also garnered four other Tony nominations. The Golden Globes honored the film version of the show with four nominations.

Set in the 1960s, the glory days of the big international airlines, “Boeing Boeing” showcases the glamorous stewardesses of the era.

The Signal Mountain Playhouse will present six evenings of this delightful romp, opening Friday, February 10, and running February 11, 17, 18, 24, and 25 with curtain at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are sold at the door. Cash or checks only please. Dessert is included in the ticket price, with service beginning at 6:45 pm.

“Boeing Boeing” will be staged at the Mountain Arts Community Center (MACC) at 809 Kentucky Avenue, where the new stage lighting will enhance the theatrical experience of play-goers.

At the helm is Richard Nichols, Playhouse veteran, in his debut turn as director. Richard holds degrees from the Chattanooga State Theater program, where he trained with Rex and Sherry Knowles, Jennifer A. Wilson, and Lindsay Fussell.  He has directed at the Colonnade Theatre and has worked with the Atlanta Workshop Players.

The cast features four Playhouse veterans and two talented newcomers. Playing the Lothario, Bernard, is Dennis Parker; playing Dennis’s complicit housekeeper, Berthe, is Margaret Cooke; playing Bernard’s friend, Robert, is John Nichols; playing Gloria, Bernard’s American fiancée, is Emma Veys; playing Gabriela, his Italian fiancée, is Emma St. Kathryn; playing Gretchen, his German fiancée, is Sarah Stone.
