‘I Ought To Be In Pictures’ takes the stage at Amana Performing Arts Center

Amana — TKM Theatrical Productions presents “I Ought To Be In Pictures” May 5 to 7 at the newly renovated Amana Performing Arts Center, 39 38th Ave, Amana. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. Sunday.

Escape with a night of laughter with this classic by Neil Simon.

Tom Milligan of TKM Theatrical Productions states, “Deb and I chose this play because it’s a great classic. You really can’t get better than Neil Simon, and with ‘I Ought To Be In Pictures,’ not only are there many humorous moments in the show, but there are also some extremely poignant moments that illustrate humanity, and how we all just want to belong and connect with one another. We look forward to the wonderful opportunity to serve our community with laughter, and hope you enjoy the show!”

Herb, a Hollywood scriptwriter currently “at liberty,” is surprised when his forgotten past reappears in the form of Libby, a teenage daughter who’s trekked from Brooklyn with dreams of movie stardom. With Steffy, his girlfriend, at his side, Herb decides to take another stab at fatherhood and hopefully this time, get it right.

Presented by TKM Theatrical Productions, “I Ought to Be in Pictures” is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French.
