I Ought to Be in Pictures

This production has been postponed.

A wonderful and touching comedy by Neil Simon, I Ought to Be in Pictures tells the story of Herb, a once successful Hollywood scriptwriter, and his almost-forgotten teenage daughter, Libby. After being estranged from his Brooklyn family for 16 years (and having gone through three wives), Herb is suddenly confronted by Libby, who shows up with a backpack and the dream of becoming a Hollywood actress. Herb is not ready for the intrusion, but Libby’s request to get into Hollywood masks a desire to rebuild their relationship. How they pick up the pieces makes for a tender and very funny story.

The three person cast features Artistic Director Michael Thurber as Herb, Tabitha Marsden as Libby and Lisa Johnson as Steffy, Herb’s girlfriend.
