Next, the Racine Theater Guild joined Jacob to talk about the opening of the next show "Boeing Boeing". It's the first time the guild has put on the production and the creative director describes the comedy as a "sexual farce". According to the show's description, Bernard is a man with three fiancees - each is a stewardess for different airlines and they are blissfully unaware of each other. One evening, his careful juggling act gets away from him as all three women arrive in town simultaneously. Click here for more information

Two actors in the in the play - depicting the characters Bernard and Robert - also perform a brief scene from Boeing Boeing before answering some questions about their preparations. Click here for more information
