Bernard Lawrence has everything under control.

At least he thinks he does.

The American architect living in Paris has managed to arrange his romantic life with almost military precision. He is engaged to three different airline stewardesses—Gloria with TWA, Gretchen with Lufthansa and Gabriella with Alitalia—and none of them knows the other two exist.

The secret to Bernard's success is simple: airline schedules.

As long as the planes arrive and depart when they're supposed to, Bernard can keep everybody separated. His long-suffering maid, Berthe, helps keep the elaborate arrangement running smoothly.

You can probably guess where this is headed.

Berry College Theatre Company opens its fall season with Boeing Boeing, Marc Camoletti's classic farce about one man's carefully constructed romantic timetable coming apart at the seams.

When changes in flight schedules bring all three women back to Paris at roughly the same time, Bernard's beautifully organized system begins heading straight for the runway. Making matters even more complicated, his friend Robert arrives for a visit and suddenly finds himself drafted into Bernard's increasingly desperate efforts to keep everyone apart.

From there, expect doors opening at precisely the wrong moment, frantic explanations, near misses and the kind of escalating confusion that makes a good farce so much fun.

Christine Fuchs directs the Berry College Theatre Company production, running October 1–3 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, October 4 at 2 p.m. at Sisters Theatre.

Tickets are $10.

The production is recommended for ages 12 and older and contains mature themes.

With so much already happening around Rome that weekend, Boeing Boeing gives us yet another excuse to skip the drive to Atlanta and stay in Rome.
