Fort Peck Summer Theatre opens 55th season with The Sunshine Boys

Hurray! At last Neil Simon's hit comedy will make its long-awaited FPST debut, after being cancelled just three days before opening night in 2020 due to COVID.

Rivalry, memories, and lots of laughs are certain to resurface when a former vaudeville team grudgingly re-unites for a CBS Television Special! George Burns and Walter Matthau famously starred in the Oscar-winning film adaptation.

The classic comedy will be directed by original Fort Peck Summer Theatre company member Neal Lewing who also takes a leading role, alongside Louis Jepson, Mike Gillpatrick, Jarret Buchholz and Karen Lewing (who also serves as Costume Designer). Eric Marsh is Scenic & Lighting Designer, with sound by Jesse Worley. Shelby Art-Koljonen is Stage Manager.

Neal and Karen Lewing run Port Polson Players on Flathead Lake and met at Fort Peck Summer Theatre when they were both company members in the 1970s.

The Sunshine Boys runs May 31 – June 9: Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 4:00 pm.
