PERFORMING ARTS CENTER News:

‘The Viewing Room’ begins its three-weekend run at the Performing Arts Center Friday, March 11 at the Los Alamos Little Theatre at 1670 Nectar St.

This heartfelt comedy centers on the recently deceased Chester Dumbrosky, who “awakens” in the viewing room of a funeral home as his dysfunctional family prepares to say goodbye.

The cast of 8 includes Chester, his wife Florence, their five children (Matthew, Steven, Patti, Debby, and Chet Jr.), and the quirky funeral home director Jay.

Directed by Wendy Caldwell and starring a slew of local talent, this show is sure to bring plenty of laughter and life lessons.

The Viewing Room runs March 11 through March 26, with 7:30 p.m. shows Friday and Saturday evenings. There also will be a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday, March 20.

Tickets are available in advance at Boomerang (cash or check only) or at the door one hour before performance times.
