Jerry Van Dyke and Southern Comforts coming to the Woodlands

As of May 10, 2012 - this show has been canceled with no explanation.

Jerry Van Dyke is bringing Southern Comforts to the Woodlands Auditorium in the Village in June.

The play, Southern Comforts, was produced at Primary Stages in New York City, October 18, 2006, starring Penny Fuller and Larry Keith. It was also presented at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in February, 2006 with husband and wife team, Dixie Lee Carter and Hal Holbrook. Van Dyke's production will feature Village actors Anthony Nicolosi and Judy Corwin.

Southern Comforts takes place in the home of widower, Gus Klingman, when a simple visit made by Amanda Cross for his church turns into an unlikely relationship. The two characters are as different as salt and pepper but the audience quickly realizes that the blend of "seasoning" is exactly what is called for in blending this touching "second-time around" romance.

Jerry and Shirley Van Dyke saw the play in California and felt this would be a perfect play for a retirement community such as Hot Springs Village. Jerry is the director, producer and will introduce the play to Woodlands audiences each performance. The performances are scheduled for June 21, 22, 23 and 24 at the Woodlands.

Anthony Nicolosi and Judy Corwin will perform together in this sweet, charming play about a couple in their 70's who meet and fall in love.

Watch for more information in the coming weeks. Tickets will be $15 for open seating.
