Opening Nights

FIRST IMPRESSIONS Opens at the Cottage Theatre in Cottage Grove Friday, Feb. 29.

Every time Darrel opens his mouth, a show tune comes out. Once an aspiring actor, Darrell is now a middle-aged family man who can only speak lines from plays or lyrics from musicals. Like most daughters, Lisa is embarrassed by her father but is more worried about him scaring off her fiancé. However, when her mother and aunt hatch a plan to fix Darrell's dramatic ways, things inevitably go somewhat awry. You only get one chance to make a first impression — but local playwrights' First Impressions will have you singing for more.

Show dates are Feb. 29-March 8. Tix available at www.cottagetheatre.orgor 942-8001.
