It's all downhill from there. What transpires is an hilarious farce full of mistaken identity, slamming doors, and bawdy humor. Join us for an evening or afternoon filled with farce and side splitting hilarity! Tickets are $20 Adults & $17 Seniors and Children. Tickets available online.   Black Cat Theatre presents A LITTLE QUICKIE by Jane Milmore and Billy Van Zandt, directed by Tony Jones June 5 and 6 at 7:00 PM and June 7 at 2:00 PM Granby Jr/Sr High School (385 East State St (Route 202), Granby). The stand up comedy team of Steve and Allen is on the brink of success when Steve's neglected wife Sara and Allen have an unexpected fling, a lifelong dream come true for Allen. Flashy manager Roscoe Clementine who narrates, his latest pickup Polly, and a New York fashion model become involved in covering up the infidelity. The play is interspersed with bits of Steve and Allen's routine which provide a hilarious running commentary on the actions.  Rated M for Mature! General Admission is $15.00, $12.00 for Seniors/Students, and all Military (active or retired) are admitted free. For ticket reservations email blackcattheater@gmail.com or call 413-563-6023.
