GUTHRIE THEATER

THE SUNSHINE BOYS
by Neil Simon
directed by Gary Gisselman

July 07 – September 02, 2012

Wurtele Thrust Stage Run time: 2 hours 30 minutes including intermission

One of the most highly anticipated events of the season will be the union of Guthrie dream team Raye Birk (Faith Healer, Third) and Peter Michael Goetz (1776, The Government Inspector), playing cantankerous vaudeville comedians in Neil Simon’s popular comedy The Sunshine Boys, directed by Gary Gisselman (Lost in Yonkers, A Christmas Carol). Despite their comedic chemistry onstage, the one-time famous duo “Lewis and Clark” can’t stand each other offstage. The shenanigans that ensue when these seasoned stage partners are coerced to reunite for a CBS television comedy special will likely make this ticket one of the hottest – and most hilarious – in town.

August 26, 2012, Sunday – Sanctuary’s 5th Anniversary Party

(LS) Time: 4:00pm-9:00pm / Location: Sanctuary the restaurant, 903 Washington Avenue South

You’re Invited! Celebrate our 5th Anniversary with us!

In August of 2007 – almost a month after the bridge fell into the river and right around the time the economy crashed sending gas prices over $4 a gallon – Sanctuary opened its doors for business! Well, what can we say? We’re still here and its getting better every day! We are deeply grateful to our customers, suppliers, advertisers, reviewers and the people of Sanctuary who all have helped make it possible for us to still be here 5 years later.

Come PARTY with us! DJ Shannon Blowtorch will be here again (because she was so awesome last year)!

Food and beverages on us, but cold beer, wine and some special cocktails will be available to enjoy at Happy Hour prices (to keep everyone drinking responsibly).

Drop by any time between 4 and 9:00 p.m. to mix, mingle, dance, eat and drink with the staff, neighbors and friends of Sanctuary!
