The short comedies include: Oprah Made Me Do It; The Hard Cel; Check Please; Eve & Adam: The Untold Story; Forty to Life; Finger Food; 1-800 and Nice Tie.
“‘Random Laughter’ is the perfect chance to get away from it all and relax, enjoy and laugh at a hilarious collection of short adult comedies here at Soldiers’ Theatre,” said Jerry Brees, U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza Soldiers’ Theatre director.
Each short comedy explores a slice of life and includes stories that are as much fun for the actors as they are for the audience according to Brees.
“The extremely talented cast will keep the audience laughing for the entire performance,” he added.
Performances will be Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.
Ticket Price is $12. Make reservations at 634-7281 or 0444-71-7281.
