The 2nd show of the season is a clever comedy fresh off Broadway. THE COTTAGE by Sandy Rustin is packed with endless laughs and hilarious twists, this tale of infidelity ends happily for all involved.

The Red Barn Summer Theatre will premiere “The Cottage,” a side-splitting farce by Sandy Rustin on

Wednesday, June 25th  at 7:30 p.m.  The show will run from Wednesday through Sunday for two weeks. The

Cottage closed on Broadway in 2023, and the Red Barn is excited to be the first venue to offer this show in the

Midwest.   “The Cottage” is the story of Sylvia and Beau, who once a year leave their respective spouses for a

romantic rendezvous in an English country cottage.  While Sylvia dreams of a life together, Beau is not as

enthusiastic about the idea.  Complications arise, and the deception is compounded as both Sylvia’s and

Beau’s spouses arrive unexpectedly at the cottage. This uproariously funny show is packed with hilarious

twists, bold physical comedy, and a joyful ending for everyone.  Red Barn Artistic Director Michael Taylor will

portray Beau,; while Chicage-based actor Katherine Abel will play Sylvia.  Kiara Wood will play  Marjorie, and

Deidre is played by Kody Horrocks , Ben Brickner will play Richard, and Matthew Reich plays Clarke. The

Cottage is directed by Luke McLaughlin, Red Barn Associate Artistic Director.  For the 'Opening

Night’ performance, NHK Seating of America will feature Frankfort native Gibson Heather’s Flowers Music

Stage Gibson will perform from 6:15 to 7:15, and the Cellar will be offering adult refreshments during that

time.  The Pump  will also be offering cold drinks and a variety of snacks.  New this year Zachary‘s Candy and

Glover’s Ice Cream have been added.  The Red Barn’s  production of “The Cottage” is sponsored by Zachary

Confections of Frankfort. Tickets are available online at redbarntheatre.net, by calling the Box  Office on

Wednesday through Saturday from 5 pm-9 pm, or by visiting the Box Office in person during those hours. The

Red Barn Summer Theatre was founded by Martin and Carol Ann Henderson in 1968.
