La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts & McCoy Rigby Entertainment will present the Tony Award-winning (2008 Best Play Revival), hilarious, sexy, non-stop comedy, BOEING-BOEING, written by Marc Camoletti, translated by Beverley Cross & Francis Evans and directed by Jeff Maynard.

In this Tony Award-winning comedy, a self-styled playboy, Bernard, has French, German, and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent "layovers."
