August 5, 2008

Flamingo Court, the new comedy starring Jamie Farr and Anita Gillette, opened at New World Stages July 31.

Luigi Creatore's play set in a South Florida apartment complex comprises three one-act comedies. Staged by Steven Yuhasz, the work sees Farr ("M*A*S*H", "The Greatest Story Ever Told," "Cannonball Run") and Gillette (Gypsy, Carnival!, Kelly, Guys and Dolls) taking on numerous roles. Also featured in the cast are Lucy Martin, Herbert Rubens and Joe Vincent.

At Flamingo Court, press notes state, "each floor is another story with a lesson to learn. Sex after 60's no sin. Where there's a will, there's a way (for your kids to fight over their inheritance). And love, at any age, can be a new and beautiful thing."

New World Stages is located in Manhattan at 340 West 50th Street. Tickets, priced $57-$72, are available by calling (212) 239-6200 or by visiting www.telecharge.com.
