AUBURN — Director Eileen Messina has announced the cast for the upcoming Community Little Theater production of “Boeing, Boeing!”  by playwright Marc Camoletti.

This high-flying, non-PC farce from the swinging Sixties finds Bernard, a free-spirited lothario living in Paris, played by Christopher Hodgkin. Bernard happens to have three fiancées — each one a beautiful stewardess from competing airlines! Meet Gloria, his modern All-American gal from TWA, played by Heather Marichal; Gabriella, his Italian fiery vixen who flies with Alitalia, played by Savannah Irish; and Gretchen, his over-the-top passionate German from Lufthansa, played by Emily Grotz.

His housekeeper. Berthe, played by Renee Mahon Davis, helps him keep his schedule with the fiancées in order, and his friend Robert, played by Chad Jacobson, comes to visit and gets unexpectedly pulled into the ruse.

Bernard keeps “one up, one down and one pending” until Boeing unexpectedly introduces their new super jet — meaning much faster flights — which brings all three fiancées to Paris and Bernard’s apartment at the same time.

This fast-paced comedy was made into a 1961 movie starring Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis.

Performance dates for “Boeing, Boeing!” are Jan. 12, 13, 18, 19  and 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Jan. 14 and 21 at 2 p.m. at Great Falls Performing Arts Center, home of L-A Community Little Theatre, 30 Acadedmy St.
