'Scrambled McManus' is a one-man comedy
The Pearl Theater, 7160 Ash St., in Bonners Ferry, is presenting the one-man comedy, “Scrambled McManus” on Sept. 16 and 17.
BONNERS FERRY — The Pearl Theater, 7160 Ash Street, in Bonners Ferry, presents the one-man comedy, “Scrambled McManus”, by humor writer Patrick F. McManus and starring his indentured actor, Tim Behrens, on Sept. 16 and 17. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
A separate acting workshop with Behrens is being offered at the Pearl on Thursday, Sept. 15.
Pat and Tim personally selected some of their favorite tales from the four complete McManus comedies for inclusion in this story stew. Stories include many audience favorites: “The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw”; “The Grasshopper Trap”; “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 audience hears directly from 10 McManus characters as they humorously recount how story made them come to life, and why stories mean so much in the first place.
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.
Tickets are $18 in advance, $22 at the doors, available at Mountain Mike’s in Bonners Ferry and Eve’s Leaves in Sandpoint.
