Let Me Hear You Smile playing at the Festival Playhouse, 5665 Olde Wadsworth Boulevard in Olde Town Arvada. Our audiences tell us that this is one of the funniest most heart-warming truest- to- life comedies they have ever seen us perform, and we agree one hundred percent! Picture this: Neil has finally retired from the family hardware store, but he is ready now to move on and move to New Zealand. The 2nd Act opens and Hannah (they are now in there middle 40's) is moving out because she is old and grey. The 3rd Act opens and Willy, now the same actors are 5 years old, is going to dig a hole and move to China. It shows life in reverse. Age appropriate for all. February 11, 12, 13 and 18, 19, 20. 303.422.4090 for tickets & info
