New Old Theater Presents
“Double the Rent!”
Friday, September 11, 7:30 pm
Old Parish House, 4711 Knox Road, College Park, MD.
Suitable for all ages!
$5 suggested donation at the door; contact us to reserve tickets ahead of time.
College Park Arts Exchange will host a performance of "Double the Rent!", a fun one-act drama presented by New Old Theater, and starring James Gagne, Ian Blackwell Rogers, and Katherine Mack. Hilarious comic actors, Gagne and Rogers were last seen together this summer in the acclaimed Capitol Fringe show, "Jack the Ticket Ripper."
“Double the Rent!” is a nineteenth-century English one-act, full of hilarious antics. Mr. Box and Mr. Cox share the same tiny room and neither one notices! One works all day, the other all night. It’s up to their wily landlady to keep them from meeting. How long can this last? You’ll scream or groan at this wry example of mid - nineteenth century situation comedy, performed in the spirit of classic vaudeville.
New Old Theater specializes in revival of the hugely popular plays of the nineteenth century, and often performs at historic mansions and re-enactments. Learn more at www.newoldtheater.org.
