With fall comes the latest offering from the North Fork Community Theatre in Mattituck, as the cast of “The Boyfriend” is in full swing, gearing up for for opening night.
The show is slated to run from October 23 through November 9 and features book, music and lyrics by Sandy Wilson.
“Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, this romantic spoof of 1920s musical comedies tells the story of English heiress, Polly, who is longing for only one thing: a boyfriend,” a description by the NFCT reads. “Polly’s father, convinced any boy who isn’t wealthy will court Polly strictly for her financial situation, forbids her to engage any potential suitors. Honoring his wishes, Polly explains to Tony, the messenger boy with whom she’s fallen in love, that she is no rich girl. This is just the tip of the mistaken identity iceberg as love proceeds to charmingly find its way through nearly every member of the cast and bring them all to a happy ending.”
The show will run on October 23, 24, 25, 26, 30 and 31, and November 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9th. All shows are at 8 p.m. except for Sunday matinees, which begin at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by calling 631-298-NFCT or going to www.nfct.com.
