Return of Phantom returns to Dallas

    The Return of the Phantom of the Opera by David Meyer, one of the Sandwich Pocket’s infamous audience-participation comedy-spoofs, is coming to Dallas April 6-May 19.

    Paris, France, 1939. Poland has been overrun. France has surrendered.

    The Nazis are gleefully on their way to world conquest, but they have made a serious mistake. They have taken over the Opera House of Paris. And its most famous inhabitant—The Phantom of the Opera—does not take lightly to being pushed around.

    This play is one of Sandwich Pocket’s infamous popcorn-tossing, audience-participation comedy spoofs, according to a press release.
    Directed by Dan Morrow, the play includes Jeremy Burnworth, Allyn Carrell, Larry Colvin, Marvin Muff-Edward Evans, Angela Groh and Richard Hancock.

    Others include Jennifer Hutchinson, William Otstoff, Greg Pugh, Dona Safran, Tim Vasquez and Zaron White.

    With their unique style of spoofing favorite heroes, villains and monsters, the Pocket Sandwich Theater’s madcap melodramas are favorites for audiences.

    Most of the shows presented are aimed at family audiences. The late night shows, on Fridays and Saturdays, are usually staged for a more mature audience than for the younger crowd.

    Funkier than fancy, the Pocket Sandwich Theater is in the downstairs corner of the Mockingbird Central Plaza Shopping Center one block east of Central Expressway.

    The theater has plenty of free parking, wheelchair accessibility, vegetarian plates and a smoke-free environment.

    The prices for this Pocket Sandwich show are Thursdays, $6; Fridays, $10; Saturdays, $14, and Sundays, $8.

    A $2 discount is available any night for seniors 60 and older and juniors 12 and under.

    Late night shows, depending on the show, run $5-$10.

    The theatre staff encourages those audience members interested in doing so to dress appropriately for the mood of the play.

    Suggestions include uniforms, tunics, muumuus, jeans, overalls, t-shirts with funny sayings, formal gowns, pajamas, space suits or anything that relates to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
