The Penny Seats' summer musical "Little Me" opened this past weekend on July 11th. The production is set to run for two more weekends (July 18-20 & 25-27). Check out a first look below!

Little Me is the farcical autobiography of Belle Poitrine, supposed star of stage, screen, and sinking ship. From her humble origins as Belle Schlumpfert on Drifter's Row, to her meteoric rise to wealth, culture, and social position, to her many mates and her one true love, all are here. Neil Simon's script is a scream (yes, Neil Simon wrote a musical), and the music (by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh) sparkles. Better still, our own Roy Sexton will attempt a comic tour de force originated by Sid Caesar and designed just for this show: he will play no fewer than 6 characters. Don't miss it.

For the first time ever, the group's catering partner, A La Rouge, will prepare fresh, grilled picnic fare for sale at the park. (Think hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, grilled chicken, and lots of delicious sides.) No need to pre-order; just come on down. Picnicking starts at 5:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7:00 pm sharp.Tickets are $10 and are available now at www.pennyseats.org.
