Well, koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson.
A Burnaby actor is taking to the stage in a role made famous on film by Anne Bancroft.
Lori Watt stars as the seductive Mrs. Robinson in the White Rock Players’ Club production of The Graduate.
The play, adapted for the stage by Terry Johnson, is based on the book by Charles Webb and the classic film. The 1967 movie starred Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, an aimless college graduate who succumbs to the charms of an older woman, his parents' friend Mrs. Robinson (Bancroft), before falling for her daughter Elaine.
In the White Rock stage version, Thomas Gage appears as Benjamin and Janine Guy as Elaine. Also featured are Kerry Van Sickle and Katherine Morris as Mr. and Mrs. Braddock, and Kimball Finigan as Mr. Robinson.
The show runs Feb. 10 to 25 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, with previews on Feb. 8 and 9. Tickets are $22, or $19 for students and seniors, with $10 tickets on preview nights.
