Fools by Neil Simon: A Hilarious Romantic Comedy with Heart

The Plot

Picture
Set in a cursed Ukranian village, this comic fable follows Leon Tolchinsky as he sets about lifting the curse to marry his new found love!

The Playwright

Neil Simon was one of the US' most popular comic playwrights. He wrote more than 30 plays and nearly the same number of movie screenplays, mostly adaptations of his plays. He received more Oscar and Tony nominations than any other writer.

The Director

Picture
Fools marks the return of Festival Theatre legend Jaclyn June Johnson! Jackie, who was the co-artistic director of Festival Theatre at one point and a long time staff member at the theatre, is directing Fools. This is the sixth show she's directed at Festival Theatre.

Picture
The show packs in a lot, including Ukranian accents, dancing, singing, sight gags, wordplay, irony, sheep, cows, jack-in-the-box style set design, and an upside-down cow! 
Picture
Fools is the largest cast play of St. Croix Festival Theatre's 2019 season including all of the summer company, all the cast of The Marvelous Wonderettes, artistic staff members Jason Richards, Brooke Smith, and Isaac Bont, and returning Festival Theatre veterans Scott Murdock and Megan Hanks!
