Flamingo Court Plans Return Engagement Off-Broadway

Flamingo Court, a comedy set in a South Florida retirement complex, will have a return engagement at New World Stages beginning April 18. Written by Luigi Creatore and directed by Steven Yuhasz, the play ran for two months at the same venue last summer in a production starring Jamie Farr and Anita Gillette. The 2009 off-Broadway engagement is booked through September 6.

The cast will include Alex Bond Saturday Night Live, All My Children, Diane J. Findlay Stanley, Top Girls, Tim Jerome Tarzan, La Bohème, Beauty and the Beast, Lost in Yonkers, The Phantom of the Opera, Lucy Martin The Constant Wife, Hollywood Arms, Joe Egg, The Sisters Rosensweig, Herb Rubens 45 Seconds from Broadway, Requiem for a Heavyweight and Gordon Stanley Cabaret, Ragtime, Beauty and the Beast, Meet Me in St. Louis.

The play follows the nosy and endearing residents of Flamingo Court, where each apartment reveals a new story and a new lesson: Sex lives after 60; where there's a will, there's a relative; and love heals all wounds, at any age. During the original off-Broadway run of Flamingo Court, Creatore wrote about the origins of the play in a First Person essay for Broadway.com.

Flamingo Court will feature scenic design by Steven Capone, lighting design by Herrick Goldman, costume design by Carol Sherry and sound design by David Arnold. The play will be produced by Theatre 21 and Carolyn Rossi Copeland.
