Fullerton, CA--When it comes to whipping up com ic delights, there’s nothing quite like a delicious French farce: Take one lovely home in the
French countryside. Add a philandering husband, his gorgeous mistress and a Cordon Bleu chef hired for a romantic weekend getaway. Add the husband’s wife and the couple’s best friend who have a few secrets of their own. Fold together with some mix ups and mishaps, and then turn up the heat. The result? Pure delight – STAGEStheatre’s tasty comedic treat Don’t
Dress for Dinner , runs June 27th through August 3rd.
The two-act play was written by French playwright Marc Camoletti, as a sequel of sorts to his smash hit Boeing Boeing. Don’t Dress for Dinner was a long-running smash in Paris and London in the early 1990s, and is enjoying renewed popularity after a successful Broadway production last year that garnered two Tony Award nominations.
At the helm of this hilarious comedy Managing Director Amanda DeMaio says “Like every good farce, it starts out with one lie – then two more have to be told to cover it up, and two more after that. It’s great to be directing here again at STAGEStheatre where they have history of producing vibrant

funny comedies, with some of the greatest comedic actors around. This show has an amazing pedigree and I’m thrilled to be working on it with such a talented cast.”
Very quickly, the characters tie themselves into knots trying to keep it all straight and the audience gets to just sit back and enjoy. The London
Guardian proclaimed it “breathtaking farce...a near faultless piece of theatrical in vention.”
The San Diego Union Tribune said it was “a bewitching blend of sharp acting, funny lines and a twisty, intricate plot.”
And critics in Chicago and New York called it “pure giddy pleasure,”
“lickety-split-second lunacy” and said it “stays in the air like a precarious but wellbuilt souffle?.”
Don’t Dress for Dinner stars: Christine Cummings, Brian Fitchner, Michael
Keeney, Brittany McClintick, Phil Nieto.
Tickets for Don’t Dress for Dinner are $20 and $18 for students and seniors.
Don’t Dress for Dinner performs June 27th- August 3rd, Fridays and
Saturdays at 8:00 pm., and Sundays at 2:00 pm. For reservations please visit our website at www.stagesoc.org
