The Purple Rose Theatre Company is pleased to announce a two-week performance extension of the French farce "Boeing-Boeing" by Marc Camoletti.

Originally scheduled to close on August 28, "Boeing-Boeing" will now run through Saturday, September 11. Performances will be Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 3 p.m.; and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.. with added performances on select days. All performances are at the Purple Rose Theatre, at 137 Park Street in Chelsea.

This English adaptation of "Boeing" features Bernard, a self-styled Parisian Lothario who's juggling three fiancées — each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent layovers in Paris. Bernard’s carefully constructed timetable runs like clockwork until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to his apartment at the same time, and his “ideal life” unravels all in one nonstop night.     Tickets for the extension of "Boeing-Boeing" go on sale Monday, August 2. Reservations can be made by calling 734-433-7673 or visiting the Purple Rose website.
