Kentwood Players presents Neil Simon’s “Biloxi Blues” at the Westchester Playhouse beginning March 9. “Biloxi Blues” is set at an army basic training camp in Biloxi, Mississippi in the summer of 1943. Six young recruits learn to “BE ARMY” and in the process learn about themselves, each other, and the war-torn world they are about to enter. Larry Jones directs this comedic coming-of-age story.
The show runs from March 9 through April 14. Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings and at 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Tickets are $16, with a $2 discount for seniors and students. For reservations, call (310) 645-5156; Tuesday through Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. For group ticket sales of 15 tickets or more, contact Calia Mintzer at (310) 837-3609. The Westchester Playhouse is located at 8301 Hindry Ave., Westchester. For information on current and future productions, visit www.kentwoodplayers.org.
