Theatre Celebrates 42 Years of Bringing Live Theatre to North Hawaii Audiences!

Our Fall 2006 Production:
45 Seconds from Broadway

by Neil Simon

Directed by Felicity Johnson

The inspiration and setting for Neil Simon's 45 Seconds from Broadway is the Hotel Edison Coffee Shop, a real place in the theater district. In Simon's fictionalized restaurant, the stories of a diverse group of people intertwine over the course of a year. The play is divided up into the four seasons of the year. The place is run by the kind, if gruff, Bernie and Zelda, who hire two seperate newcomers, an aspiring actress from Ohio and a struggling playwright from South Africa. Meanwhile assorted regulars come through the cafe as the seasons pass, and the fate of the owners, regulars, and the cafe itself hangs in the balance.

This comedy calls for 6 adult females and 6 adult male actors, of assorted ages.
