The Emerson Black Box Theater
Directed by Lori Renna
Allan Felix has this thing about Humphrey Bogart. If only he had some of Bogart's technique... bookish and insecure with women, Allan's hero, Bogey comes to the rescue, with a fantastic bevy of beauties played out in hilarious fantasy sequences. Fixed up by friends with gorgeous women, he's so awkward that even Bogey's patience is tried. Allan mostly resembles a disheveled, friendly dog and this is what ultimately charms his best friend's wife, Linda, into bed. It's a tough life, making it in the world of beautiful people but if you can't be a hero it helps to have one...
"Hilarious... a cheerful romp. Not only are Mr. Allen's jokes and their follow ups, asides and twists audaciously brilliant, but he has a great sense of character." - The New York Times

General Admission $ 20.00
