It was the opening night for April in Paris, a comedy about a couple unhappy with their lives who go to France in a bid to reinvigorate their relationship. 

Those in attendance on Thursday were also treated to a bonus  from Wagga Alliance Francaise’s La Choral Francaise, serenading audiences before the curtain rose. 

The play is brought to Wagga for a two week season by the School of Arts Community Theatre and is directed by Fay Walters.

Ms Walters said she is hoping the northern hemispehere humour and minimal set, bar a striking Eiffel Tower, will appeal to  a wide audience.

“It’s a minimal set but it is beautiful,” she said.

The story is an English comedy.” 

The play was easy to follow and a good introduction to the world of theatre, Ms Walters said.

“For people who have never seen theatre I would recommend it,” she said. 

April in Paris is showing in the Basement Theatre until November 6.

Tickets at $25 for adults and $20 for concession.
