◆ Garland Civic Theatre
Eager beaver producer Martin Klemmer, a wheeler dealer if ever there was one, has uncovered a terrific commercial script – Star Wars: The Play. Martin's calls are not being returned by the powerful Broadway magnates capable of getting this play to the Great White Way. If Martin can sign film legends Sylvia Glenn and Leatrice Monsee to play the leads, he can get the money to take Star Wars: The Play to the big time. Unfortunately, the legendary leads hate each other. Performance dates/times: Thursday, Sept. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 2-24 at 8 p.m. Sundays, Sept. 11 and Sept. 18 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets: $22 at GarlandArtsBoxOffice.com, 972-205-2790
