Gilbert eater
Gilbert Theater is opening its season with
"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." After all, most of
us could use a little comedy about now.
"It's such a funny show," said artistic
director Lawrence Carlisle III. "It's based
on the movie that starred Steve Martin and
Michael Caine."
The rest of the season includes the
Christmas musical, "The Carols," and a
musical fantasy, "The Last Days of Judas
Iscariot."
"It features appearances by everyone from
Satan to Mother Teresa," Carlisle said.
After all, the Gilbert has never shied away
from the unusual or the provocative.
"I want to do something that means
something," Carlisle said. "I want to do
things that interest me, and I hope will
interest other people."
