‘La Cage Aux Folles’ continues Oct. 3 in Georgetown

Possums Point Players announced its “La Cage aux Folles” performances will continue at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, Oct. 3 and 4, at Possum Hall, 441 Old Laurel Road, Georgetown.

The Sunday, Oct. 5 matinee show is sold out. 

Like the movie “The Birdcage,” the musical adaptation by Harvey Feirstein and Jerry Herman is based on a play by Jean Poiret. The show depicts one long-lasting love and marriage, and one new, blossoming love. Georges and Albin are as settled into their marriage of more than 20 years as any couple. They are contented and understanding, impatient and fussy. Their homosexual union is the family and parental foundation of their son Jean-Michel’s life. However, when he falls in love with a lovely young woman, Anne, who happens to have a narrow-minded and prejudiced father, complications multiply.

Jean-Michel has to deal with the issue of his parents’ famous nightclub that features entertainment by stunning drag queens, with his father’s husband the most provocative and famous. There’s also the issue of how sweet Anne’s father will accept that a man could indeed be a loving and influential parent, just as a woman can.

Cast members from Georgetown are Jakob Faulkner, Jay Dupont Jimenez, Melody Westphal, Deb Mengert, Mike Sites, Marcie Clark, Belle Marine and Luke Rowan. Steven Perry, Martin Morris and Len Hedges-Goettl live in Rehoboth Beach, and Blake Blair lives in Lewes. Brian Flint is a resident of Ocean View, and Abbie Porter lives in Bridgeville. Caliana Velasquez resides in Dagsboro, Luisa Forger lives in Camden/Wyoming and Danilo Lemon hails from Millsboro.
