Jungle Theater postpones play opening

The Jungle Theater's Artistic Director Bain Boehlke has announced he's cancelled opening weekend of Edward Albee's classic "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?"

The show was set to open April 23, but due to an emergency stomache surgery for one of the two male actors, Boehlke says the play will now open on Tuesday, April 27.

Ticketholders for opening weekend should contact the theater to see about rescheduling their visit.

This is not the first time the Jungle Theater has postponed the opening of a show. In 2002 Boehlke postponed the opening of Tom Stoppard's "Hapgood" in order to fix problems with the set.
