The Lanark Chapter 55 and the Classic Theatre Festival have teamed up to offer all CARP members a 20% discount for the Wednesday, July 31st 2 pm matinee performance of Neil Simon’s ‘The Star-Spangled Girl.’

Before the performance the Lanark Chapter of CARP will be in the lobby of the Full Circle Theatre to offer information about CARP and sell memberships in CARP. A couple with a one-year membership in CARP for $19.95 can get a discount of $12 off of the total price of two tickets to the performance. CARP members wishing to take advantage of the 20% discount should call toll-free 1-877-283-1283 to order their tickets.

This is the fourth season of professional summer theatre in Perth courtesy of the Classic Theatre Festival. This year the Festival is being held in the Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig St. ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ was written in 1966 but is still relevant to the divided politics of the U.S. today. Kate Gordon, a regular at Upper Canada Playhouse, returns to the festival for a second season as the conservative southern belle ‘girl’ creating the comedy as she fends off the attentions of two liberals in pursuit, played by Ottawa’s Richard Gélinas and Toronto’s Trevor Pease.

Further information on the Festival season, including a video preview, is available at www.classictheatre.ca.
