Bloomington, Indiana – Get ready for a night of laughter and nostalgia as the Jewish Theatre of Bloomington and the Hundredth Hill present “An Evening with GROUCHO” on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, at The Constellation Playhouse. This fast-paced comedy show will be performed at both 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., offering an unforgettable experience for theatergoers of all ages.
Award-winning actor Frank Ferrante, known for his acclaimed portrayal of Groucho Marx, brings the legendary comedian back to life in a way that has been called “nothing short of masterful” by the Chicago Tribune. Ferrante, who has performed this role on PBS, in New York, and in London, delivers a comedic experience that captures the essence of Groucho’s wit and charm. The show features a collection of Groucho’s best one-liners, memorable anecdotes, and classic songs, such as “Hooray for Captain Spalding” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.”
Accompanied by an onstage pianist, Ferrante recreates the youthful Groucho that audiences remember from both the stage and screen. The performance also introduces the unforgettable Marx Brothers—Harpo, Chico, Zeppo, and Gummo—as well as other iconic figures like Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, and Groucho’s frequent foil, Margaret Dumont. The blend of humor, music, and nostalgia makes “An Evening with GROUCHO” a show that will resonate with fans of all ages, whether they are long-time Groucho enthusiasts or new to his timeless comedy.
This one-of-a-kind theatrical event will take place at The Constellation Playhouse, located at 107 W 9th Street in Bloomington.
