Three Men on a Horse
Opening Night: March 24, 2011
Closing: April 23, 2011
Theater: Beckett Theatre
In Three Men on a Horse, hen-pecked greeting-card writer, Erwin Trowbridge, has an uncanny ability for predicting the winners in horse races. For Erwin it’s just a hobby, but when his extraordinary talent is discovered by a down-and-out pack of gamblers and would-be hot-shots, Erwin suddenly finds himself very far from his safe suburban home in Ozone Heights. This dizzy and delightful Depression era comedy, by one of the American theatre’s most accomplished showmen, will bring a much needed lift to your Recession-wearied spirits.
