About the Show:
"Sinfully charming…sharp…funny" -New York Times

Brown County Playhouse producer Jonathan Michaelsen directs Present Laughter, a farcically funny comedy that sparkles like fine champagne. In Present Laughter a popular, pampered, and self-obsessed stage star is rather fearfully facing his forties. But Garry needn't worry that he'll be abandoned. As he prepares for an upcoming theatrical tour he is bombarded by friends, relatives, a love-struck ingénue, his long-suffering secretary, and an aspiring—if quite mad—playwright who invade his elegant London flat – many of them attempting to seduce him. And then there's his estranged wife to avoid – or not. With typical Coward repartee and dazzling wit, Garry sidesteps the complications and escalating comic confusion. This wonderful romp about growing old gracefully is a summer sizzler and just a whole lot of fun.
