The Good Doctor at Mason City Community Theatre

A combination of Neil Simon and Chekhov, The Good Doctor, a comedy with music, is, by turns, charming, hilarious, sad, and touching. It centers around a writer, who speaks to the audience and shares his writing with them, throughout one day. He presents them with a plethora of scenes: some are from his childhood, others are his family and friends, and still others are his own life experiences. The audience meets a variety of characters, all of whom are immediately relatable and strikingly human. Performance dates are April 25-26 and May 2-3 at 7 p.m.; and April 27 and May 4 at 2 p.m.,. Tickets are $16 for adults and $12 for students.
