Poly’s theater department will put on a performance of Check Please Acts 1 and 2, a comedy, on November 7th, 8th, 9th, and 14th.
The show’s main characters are Guy and Girl, both separately seeking a romantic partner and going on a series of blind dates that all go horribly wrong. They meet a myriad of exotic, annoying, or just straight up freaky people: a man believing himself to be a pirate, a kleptomaniac, a narcissist, a woman with 9 personalities, and all sorts of lively, exuberant characters. Both acts of the show are essentially the same, both of them following the dating endeavours of Guy and Girl.
This show will be a big shift in tone from last year’s fall play, Letters to Sala, which was about a holocaust survivor recounting to her grandchildren the horrors she faced during her time in different work camps. So if anyone is looking for a humorous, more light-hearted show, they should come see Check Please at the Poly Playhouse, in room 801, on November 7th at 6:30 PM, 8th at 6:30 PM, 9th at 3:00 PM, or on the 14th at 6:30 PM.
