The Cannon Theatre is pleased to present Boeing Boeing, a hilarious 1960s French farce drenched in fast-paced physical comedy and uproarious chaos. This production, directed by Martha Brooks, is the first in The Cannon Theatre’s 2022-23 season line-up, and only the fourth show to be staged in their new performance space at 28 Andrews Parkway in Devens, MA.

Boeing Boeing follows the antics and escapades of Bernard Lawrence, an American architect living in Paris. As long as flight schedules remain the same, he is safe juggling three fiancées who are airline stewardesses; each is from a different airline and doesn't know about the other two! Life is grand until the new Boeing jet arrives and shortens flight times. Now the fun begins as Bernard and his maid juggle the ladies and their schedules. In addition, a friend discovers Bernard's deceit and decides to get in on the action. Life for Bernard is suddenly very complicated. Come see how the plot unfolds! 

Show times are October 28, 29, November 4, 5, 11, and 12 at 7:30 pm, with matinees on November 6 and 13 at 2:00 pm.

Tickets are available at www.thecannontheatre.org, and are $25 for adults, and $20 for students/seniors.

The Cannon Theatre moved from Littleton to Devens while live theater was not possible during the pandemic. The new theater construction was made possible by very generous funding from The Elizabeth B. McGraw Foundation, as well as donated work by Studio J2 (architect) and Frank Harrigan (structural engineer). Additional support is provided by the Community Foundation for North Central Massachusetts, and the Local Cultural Councils of Acton-Boxborough, Ayer, Groton, Harvard, Littleton, Lunenburg, Townsend, and Shirley - local agencies which are supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
