County Players continues its 57th season with the comedy Boeing-Boeing, by Marc Camoletti, Friday, Feb. 6, at 8 p.m.

In 1960s Paris, bachelor Bernard is engaged to three stewardesses who don’t know about each other. Bernard’s perfect life gets bumpy when his friend Robert comes to stay and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off his plans.

With all three stewardesses in town simultaneously, Robert forgets which lies to tell to whom. The play recently enjoyed hit revivals in London and New York and is set to arrive in Wappingers Falls.

Kevin Barnes directs this classic farce. The cast includes Ian B. Brent, Anna Coleman, Paul Coleman, Fay Gerbes Pacht, Emma James and Jim Van Wagenen.

Subsequent performances will be Feb. 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults and $14 for seniors/children under 12.
