ALTON - Alton Little Theater is ending the 89th Season at the Showplace with an exclamation of comedy. The Theater group has waited six years to produce the French Farce, DING DONG aka "My Just Desserts" and now the show will be presented in all its glamour & calamity for eight performances from May 5th through the 14th -- and yes, there will be special tributes to "moms" on the Final Sunday Matinee on May 14th! The play was translated for American stages by Marc Camoletti and Tudor Gates and premiered at the Community Theater in Naples, Florida where it was held for over three months in 2017. The production values, costs, and change of publishing houses during 2020-21, prevented ALT from going forward with production -- until now! ALT's Executive Director, Lee Cox will direct the production which features two other Season Directors, two regional, very-popular actors, and two brand new talents who had "acting at ALT" on their bucket list! Kevin Frakes, Gail Drillinger, Josh Sarver
