BackAlley Community Theatre in Grand Cane, LA, is excited to present Chapter Two by Neil Simon. A successful writer mourning the recent loss of his beloved wife fears he will never love again.

This very funny but poignant play is based around four characters: George, a recently widowed spy novelist; Jenny, a level- headed actress; Leo, George’s garrulous but loving younger brother; and Fay, Jenny’s utterly clueless but enchanting friend.

Show times are Friday and Saturday, February 9, 10, and 16, 17 @ 7 pm, and matinees on Sunday, February 11 and Saturday, February 17 @ 2 pm. Purchase your tickets or reserve your season ticket seat at backalleygrandcane. com. For questions, call our box office at 318-4610202.
