Michael Learned and Granville Van Dusan

Southern Comforts is a delightful comedy with a warm and charming love story written by Kathleen Clark. It is being presented at the Falcon Theatre in Burbank, directed by Jules Aaron and features two formidable actors, Michael Learned and Granville Van Dusan, who prove to be perfect for the characters that they so flawlessly portray.

 

The soft and charming Amanda meets up with a rather headstrong gentlemen, but as the rain becomes a heavy thunderstorm, Amanda ends up spending more time than anticipated with Gus. While they discover their mutual love of baseball, they also find things that they don't quite agree upon. Later when Gus shows up at church, a place he almost never attends, it is obvious that he had become smitten with Amanda. Eventually, the two spend more and more time together, and a love story ensues.

After there courtship, and after their marriage, new difficulties between two mature people that are bound to come up do, but in the end, their true love for one another wins out. What makes this play so gratifying is not only the fact that it is well-written, but that these two performers are so in sync with one another, their timing flawless.

Southern Comforts plays Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 PM, Sundays at 4 PM, and will continue through November 13 2011.

The Falcon Theatre is located at 4252 Riverside Drive in Burbank. Tickets can be purchased online at www.FalconTheatre.com, or through the Theatre Box Office at (818) 955-8101.
