Comic relief in Rainier
In case you need some election-oriented laughs, check out Rainier Junior/High School’s production of Neil Simon’s comedy “The Star Spangled Girl.”
The play is about two eccentric leftists, played by Chris Shult and Nick Clark, who publish a failing magazine dedicated to fighting “the system” in late 1960s America. Patricia Atkinson plays a girl with traditional American values who moves in next door. Political bickering, death threats and a love triangle result.
“The Star Spangled Girl,” directed by Laurie Kash, runs at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday in the Briarcliff Auditorium. Tickets cost $5.
