On
Friday and Saturday, September 16 and 17, the
Pearl Theater will present the one-man comedy,
Scrambled McManus, by humor writer Patrick F.
McManus, directed by Jack Delehanty and starring
Pat's indentured actor, Tim Behrens. Pat and Tim personally selected some of their favorite tales for this story stew, including many audience favorites: The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw; The Grasshopper Trap; the Camping Trip with 100-year old Ed; First Date (with Melba Peachbottom); the Mummy Story (or how I learned to love the dark) and just for this show, Our First Cannon.
The show appeals equally to diehard fans and to newcomers to the wacky wonderful world of Pat McManus and the denizens of his hometown of Blight, Idaho.
McManus, one of the most popular humor writers in the country, has penned 23 titles which have sold more than 6 million copies. His five one-man shows, all performed by Behrens, have played to more than 450,000 people in 23 states.
Tickets are $18 advance $22 at the door or $12 for students and advance tickets are available at Bonners Books, Mountain Mike’s and Eve’s Leaves all have tickets available.
This project received support from the Western States Arts Federation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The two performances will take place at the Pearl Theater, 7160 Ash Street, Bonners Ferry. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. both nights, with an acting workshop to take place before the Friday night show.
