The Little Hut at Riverfront Playhouse (Aurora)

Just got a note from the Riverfront Playhouse in downtown Aurora about their upcoming production of the French farce The Little Hut, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm from May 15th through June 20th. Let's listen in as the Riverfront Playhouse elaborates:

Originally produced on Broadway, The Little Hut was made into a movie starring David Niven, Ava Gardner and Stewart Granger in 1957. However, as director David Morris points out, the film version was considerably watered down and didn't do justice to the underlying sexiness of the stage play.

"The play is truly French in its outlook on life and love," says Morris. "It manages to both wonderfully sophisticated and ridiculously silly, often at the same time."

Morris describes The Little Hut as a " kind of naughty fairy tale for adults, though with nothing offensive in word or deed -- unless you have a dirty mind. But, of course, past a certain age, who doesn't?"

Tickets are $15.00 for adults and $12.00 for seniors and students. Group rates are also available.
