Good Evening
THE COPPERSTATE DINNER THEATER AT PHOENIX GREYHOUND PARK IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING OF THE ARIZONA PREMIER OF THE HILARIOUS COMEDY, GOOD EVENING.
CREATED BY THE COMEDY DUO OF PETER COOK (BEDAZZLED, THE PRINCESS BRIDE) AND DUDLEY MOORE (10, ARTHUR), GOOD EVENING IS A HILARIOUS EVENING OF SKETCH COMEDY FROM TWO MASTERS OF THE ART. WHETHER IT IS A ONE-LEGGED MAN AUDITIONING FOR THE ROLE OF TARZAN, OR AN UNINPRESSED SHEPARD DESCRIBING THE NATIVITY, GOOD EVENING IS FUNNY, IRREVERENT AND IRRESISTABLE.
GOOD EVENING STARS COPPERSTATE DINNER THEATER’S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, PETER J. HILL, AND COMIC ACTOR, JESSE BERGER.
THE ORIGINAL BAD BOYS OF BRITISH COMEDY, COOK AND MOORE’S IRREVERENT SATIRE AND DEVILISH SENSE OF FUN MADE THEM BIG STARS IN THE 60′S AND EARLY 70′S.
