SANTA PAULA THEATER CENTER PRESENTS THE ROMANTIC COMEDY CHAPTER TWO BY NEIL SIMON
Santa Paula Theater Center announces their forth Main Stage show of Season 2024, CHAPTER TWO by Neil Simon. It runs from from Aug 30 - Sept 29, 2024 with performances on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 PM and Sunday Matinees at 2:30 PM. Santa Paula Theater Center is located at 125 S. Seventh Street, Santa Paula, CA 93060. Phone # 805-525-4645. More information can be found at www.santapaulatheatercenter.org. Recent widower, writer George Schneider, is encouraged by his younger brother Leo to start dating again. This sends George into even more depression after a series of bad matches. Then Leo comes up with Jennie Malone, and she's a keeper. Still, it's a bumpy trip on the road to Dreamland for these not-so-young lovers. George and Jennie stumble on, overcoming both their hesitation on the rebound and emotional neediness. In a hilarious, farcical subplot, Leo has a fling with Faye, Jennie's neurotic married friend. “There is much to like in CHAPTER TWO, which is a very commercial comedy with plenty of laughs and more profundity than you might anticipate….It captures a lot of the timeless perils of dating someone previously in a long-term relationship of one kind or another. You don't have to have a show about Tinder to understand the peculiar cocktail of cynicism, hope and vulnerability mixing in the stomach of any 40-something in a singles bar — or suffering the kind fix-'em-up ministrations of a relative or friend. CHAPTER TWO is tender and funny.” — Chicago Tribune “Simon is indeed a wordsmith who can bring a smile to our face with his comic genius, but at the same time, his story telling allows us to see the realistic feelings and emotions of a man who went through a lot.”— All Around the Town Chicago “Dealing with love, grief and second chances. Simon’s story is timeless and universal. Despite technological advances and sites like match.com, dating hasn’t changed much in all these years and audiences will relate when George and Jennie agree, No matter how old you get, this never gets easier.”—La Jolla Light "...“Chapter Two” is a vanishing breed of play in the American theater, a realistic, solidly written work about recognizable characters dealing with recognizable problems. It’s not cutting edge and has no agenda, but its entertainment value is sky high.” —Chicago Land Theater From painting workshops to concerts to magic shows to great plays – there always something happening at the Santa Paula Theater Center!
