‘Full Monty’ opens Feb. 13
CAST Theater and Columbia Center for the Arts are pulling out all the stops this February when they bring “The Full Monty” to the stage. “The Full Monty” by Terrence McNally, with music and lyrics by Davi Yazbek and directed by Bruce Ludwig, is a story of a broke and out of work steelworker who finds inspiration after bumping into a male stripper. He and his equally desperate friends decide to give it their all – or rather show it all – to get rich quick.
“The Full Monty” opens Friday Feb. 13, at 7:30 p.m., and continues at that time on Feb. 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, and 28, with a matinee on Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available online at www.columbiaarts.org, at Waucoma Bookstore and in the gallery at Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade Ave in downtown Hood River. The Full Monty contains mature content and is not suitable for children under 13 years of age.
