Peninsula Community Theatre Presents Jitters

By Susan Smigielski Acker 2 Comments

Get ready to laugh while watching the trials and tribulations of putting on a show with Jitters.

It demonstrates Murphy’s Law that whatever can go wrong, will.

Set in a small professional theatre in the wilds of Canada, it features desperate neurotics cast and crew who hope this show will boost their careers.

The leading lady is a fading actress who hopes to impress a Broadway producer. However, the leading man, a local celebrity attempts to thwart her because he dislikes her haughty airs. 

The other cast members include veteran character actor who cannot remember his lines, a young man who is drunk on opening night, a tyrannical stage manager and a desperate, inexperienced, playwright.

Leading this group is an eager young director who has a hard time controlling the cast and crew because he wants to be diplomatic.

Show times October 14- 30 Fridays and Saturdays 8:00 p.m., Sundays 2:30 p.m. The Peninsula Community Theatre is located at 10251 Warwick Blvd. in Newport News.
