The Marietta Theatre Company will present "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" during the holiday season in Marietta. The musical comedy, adapted from the 1988 film starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine, will run from November 6 to November 15 at Marietta’s Theatre in the Square. The production follows two con men whose competing schemes to swindle a wealthy heiress on the French Riviera, according to the City of Marietta.
The production is directed by Maxim Gukhman, with JoAnna Johnson overseeing the music and Paige McCormick in charge of choreography. It involves a 14-person cast and is the largest project the Marietta Theatre Company has undertaken so far, including 15 local artists, technicians, and designers. Tickets are available online, with prices ranging from $27.44 to $51.94.
