The Theater Company of Saugus is proud to announce our spring 2013 production of “The Good Doctor”. This dramatic comedy is by Neil Simon, one of the greatest and most prolific American playwrights. It is based on the work of the great Russian dramatist and short story writer Anton Chekhov, who also worked as a medical doctor. This show dramatizes nine of his stories, including a wide variety of settings and characters.
There will be six performances of The Good Doctor, in the evening on Fridays and Saturdays, February 8, 9, 15, 16 at 7:30 PM, and with matinees on Sundays, February 10, 17, 2013 at 2:00 PM.
The venue is the East Saugus United Methodist Church, located at 85 Chestnut Street in Saugus, Massachusetts. (See our Directions page.)
The show will be presented cabaret style, with the audience seated at small tables. Light refreshments and appetizers will be for sale.
Tickets are $15 for adults, or $12 for seniors and students. (See our Tickets page.)
A cast of Theatre Company veterans and newcomers each play a variety of roles in the various short scenes. The stories are narrated by The Writer, based on Chekhov himself. The descriptions and cast of each show are shown below.
