The Southside Theatre Guild will stage “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” beginning July 21 in Fairburn. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday through Aug. 7.
Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!
“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” is scheduled to be performed July 21, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 and 31 as well as Aug. 5, 6 and 7.
Tickets for all performances at $16 online and $18 at the door. Children 12 and under are $10. (This play is intended for adult audiences and may contain adult language and situations.)
