Hollywood Arms is a full-length comedic drama by Carrie Hamilton and Carol Burnett. A young daughter of ineffectual parents finds escape and solace in her own dreams of stardom in this warmhearted, coming-of-age play by comic legend Carol Burnett and her daughter, Carrie Hamilton. Based on the great comedian’s memoir One More Time, this revealing stage version is an entertaining, moving, and sometimes zany look into Carol Burnett‘s not-so Hollywood-land childhood.

Hollywood Arms chronicles the life of a woman named Helen in pre- and post-World War II Hollywood. This funny and moving story centers on three generations of women living on welfare in a one-room apartment at the Hollywood Arms, at the foot of the Hollywood hills. The piece contains a cavalcade of characters, including a tough, funny, yet tender pill-popping Christian Scientist grandmother who cares for the heroine, Helen, after the divorce of her parents; a beautiful wide-eyed and distant mother who is struggling to be a writer, only to drown her ambitions in a bottle; a loving but absent and alcoholic father who wants to be the daddy he never was; and a young girl Helen whose only escape is up on the roof of their rundown apartment house where she creates her own magical world at the foot of the Hollywood Hills. Finally, it’s a story about shattered hopes and realized dreams. Audiences will laugh and cry as they watch the story of the childhood that birthed Carol Burnett‘s incredible talent.

Arts Center Theatre welcomes fingerstyle guitarist Glenn Roth to the Live Entertainment series. The unique compositions of this musician will have you unable to believe your ears with one guy, ten flying fingers, and one instrument.

Glenn Roth is a licensed performer of the MTA’s “Music under New York” program.  His concert hall is the vaulted splendor of Grand Central Terminal or the tunnels and platforms of the New York City subway system. This phenomenal guitarist has released six CDs and his original compositions have been hailed as “sheer virtuosity” and “delicate, accomplished solo acoustic guitar work.”

The Foreigner, by Larry Shue, is a fun, two-act comedy by American playwright Larry Shue. The story takes place in a fishing lodge in rural Tilghman County, Georgia where two Englishmen, Froggy and Charlie, arrive as guests. The shy Charlie agreed to accompany Froggy on the trip after his sick wife begged him to go. When people at the lodge try to talk to Charlie, however, he remains silent: he is terribly shy, depressed about his wife’s illness, and cannot find the words to reply. Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a “foreigner” from an exotic country, and does not understand English. Taking the explanation that he’s a non-English speaker as fact, the lodge’s guests quickly begin revealing their secrets, and Charlie soon discovers scandals amongst some of the residents of the lodge.
