Patsy Healy, who is in charge of this onslaught of ticket-selling, still needs help and anyone who can spare a few hours should 'phone her at 94043. A big Fourth of July Gala Opening is planned for the first performance, and an elegant champagne reception will be held at 7.30 atd the Town Hall before the show.
There will be a tremendous amount of tourists in Cayman for this holiday weekend, celebrating American independence, so the Cayman Drama Society decided that this Gala night should be open to the general public. Tickets for the first night performance, which include the champagne and hors d'oeuvres, will be five dollars and are available on a first come first served basis. Tickets for the following nights will be $3.00. Whether you decide to attend the sparkling Fourth of July Gala, or go on the 5th, 6th, or 8th, or the following week on 13th, 14th or 15th, we recommend that you get your tickets early. Regular Town Hall-goers know exactly where the ceiling fans are located, and it is essential to book early if you want to choose a seat that has, not only a good view, but an airy location.
Patricia Jackson-Patino - the STAR-SPANGLED GIRL of the title - plays an Olympic swimming champion, a strong, healthy and beautiful example of American womanhood who is gradually being reduced to an hysterical, spotty, balding
wreck by the amorous atintentions of Ken Clowes. Fortunately, before things go too far -- But no. We mustn't spoil the plot for you. Suffice it to say that the incomparable Neil Simon has written a very, very funny play. If you like to laugh, you'll love THE STARSPANGLED GIRL.
