POTTSTOWN PA – “Farragut North,” a political drama on which the 2011 major motion picture “The Ideas Of March” – starring George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, and Philip Seymour Hoffman – was based, comes to the Tri-County Performing Arts Center, 245 High St., Pottstown PA, for two weekends only, April 20-22 and 27-29.
- This event has been added to The Post calendar.
Worthy of the current political season, Tri-PAC representative Betsy Chapman says, the play’s plot is filled with backroom politics:
“It’s January in Des Moines IA, during a tight primary race. Wunderkind Stephen Bellamy is young, aggressive, talented, and tremendously successful as press secretary for Governor Morris in his bid to run for President. Thrown into the scheming backroom politics of more seasoned operatives, Stephen struggles between the lust for power and loyalty to the cause.”
Farragut North is named for the Metro Station that is the center of the Washington DC lobbyist district. The Tri-PAC production stars features a cast including Tyler Horn, Steve Reazor, Katherine Leary, Phil Ballantine, Ken Mumma, Carly Fried, Porter Eidam, and Philip Seader.
Tickets cost $17 for adults, $15 for seniors age 65 and older, and students; and $13 for children age 12 and younger. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. Sunday. All tickets are available online, here, and seating is now reserved. When available, tickets also will be sold at the door. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.
