HUNTINGTON — ARTS is pleased to stage a comedic drama by one of America's most beloved playwrights, Neil Simon, the author of more than 30 plays including “Barefoot in the Park” and “The Odd Couple.”

Simon’s “I Ought to Be in Pictures,” will be presented at 8 p.m. Oct. 2-3 and Oct. 10, as well as at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4 and 11.

All performances will be at The Renaissance Center (Old Huntington High School), 900 East 8th Street in Huntington. Show tickets will be $15.

The cast for ARTS production is Alissa Fetherolf as Libby Tucker, Clint McElroy as Herb Tucker, and Leann Haines as Steffy Blondell. This show will be the directing debut for Stephen Vance. The producers for the show are Jeanette Bills and Amy Knell.

The show follows Libby Tucker,  a 19-year-old girl from Brooklyn who has virtually raised herself and is ready to confront her father Herb who she hasn't seen since she was 3. She hitchhikes to California to face her father and to jumpstart her career in the movies. Thrown for a loop, Herb tries to balance his life between his now grown up daughter, his failing screen writing career, and a relationship with his girlfriend Steffy.

The New York Post has called I Ought to Be in Pictures, "Terrific... sweet, dandy and touching... a mature, memorable play that brings joy to the season" and WCBS-TV2 reviews stated it was "A finely tuned theatrical blend of hilarity, honesty, directly and deeply felt emotion. Go."
For reservations, please call 304-733-2787.

Tickets will also be available at the door. For more information, visit the ARTS website at www.733arts.org.
