PLAYHOUSE 51
A Little Off The Top, opening night Friday at 7:30 p.m., and the following shows are June 8 at 7:30, June 9 matinee at 2 p.m. The show is a comedy with the help of a toupee salesman, Steve and Jerry, two lonely balding bachelors, find a perfect toupee with which to attract women. The only problem is that they don’t have enough money to buy it. Desperate for hair, they purchase a used toupee that was “repossessed” from a dead man and decide to time-share the toupee by taking turns wearing it. The new toupee gives Steve and Jerry a confidence boost, and they soon meet two lovely ladies. Romance is in the air until both girlfriends show up at Jerry and Steve’s house at the same time. With two bald men and just one toupee, things get a bit hairy for Steve and Jerry.
