The Village Theater will present “Frank Ferrante in An Afternoon with Groucho” on Saturday, February 3, 2018. Tickets can be purchased online at www.villagetheatercanton.com, in person Monday – Friday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. or by phone at 734/394-5484.
Award-winning actor/director/playwright Frank Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed portrayal of legendary comedian Groucho Marx in this fast-paced 90-minutes of hilarity. The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes and songs including "Hooray For Captain Spalding," and "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady." The audience literally becomes part of the show as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style.
Accompanied by his onstage pianist, Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, Greta Garbo, Marx foil, Margaret Dumont and MGM's Louis B. Mayer.
Don’t miss your opportunity to see what the Chicago Tribute called “Nothing short of masterful” and New York Times said the performance is “Artful…Mr. Ferrante’s timing is digital sharp.” Groucho’s own daughter has added; “Frank doesn’t just do Groucho…he is Groucho.”
