Beaverton Civic Theatre's (BCT) fifth season begins with the comedy "Suite Surrender" by Michael McKeever opening Friday, March 1 at the Beaverton City Library Auditorium (12375 SW 5th Street). "Suite Surrender" takes place in 1942 and is full of humorous accounts of mistaken identities and overblown egos.
"Our talented, local performers have created another high-quality production," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "This fast paced comedy will be a crowd pleaser."
Presented by the Beaverton Arts Commission and funded in part with a Community Participation Project Grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council, "Suite Surrender" will run weekends beginning March 1 through March 16.
Performances are scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. A question and answer session with the cast is slated on Sunday, March 10 immediately following the performance. Ticket prices are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, students and groups of ten or more, and $5 for youth (age 10 and under). Tickets are available at the door, by calling 503-754-9866 or visiting www.BeavertonCivicTheatre.org. Free parking is available in the library parking lot. Please call ahead to 503-754-9866 for ADA accommodation requests.
