NCT presents farce next weekend By MICHAEL
BOYLAN
Newnan Community Theatre presents "A Little Hotel On The Side" by Georges Feydeau starting next Friday. The play is a farce about a man in an unhappy marriage, who convinces his neighbor, also in an unhappy marriage, to go to a seedy hotel with him for an affair. Though they do not think they will be seen by anybody there, everyone they know shows up at the hotel and they only escape detection by the skin of their teeth. "This is one of the funniest plays ever written," said NCTC Artistic Director Dale Lyles, who is directing this play as his 25th anniversary production. In 1975, it was the first play he directed, in a translation entitle "Hotel Paradiso." "I am glad to be returning to it as a way of celebrating the 25 wonderful years I've had in theatre in Newnan." Performances are at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays Oct. 13-28, and at 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $8 for seniors and students. For reservations, call 770-683-NCTC.
