Romantic Comedy ‘Beau Jest’ To Open This Weekend At Canyon Theater Guild

The romantic comedy “Beau Jest,” directed by Laurie Morgan, is set to open this weekend at the Canyon Theater Guild in downtown Newhall. 

Director Laurie Morgan has been a presence in the Santa Clarita artistic scene, having been an actress and director since the 1970s. 

Morgan has worked as an actress in both film and television series, and in the late 90s began directing and performing in a multitude of productions with the Canyon Theater Guild. 

Morgan continues her legacy with James Sherman’s “Beau Jest,” which tells the story of Sarah Goldman, who is fed up with her interfering mother disapproving of her boyfriend and trying to match her with other men. 

She pretends to break up with him, and then makes up a perfect new relationship with a Jewish doctor who meets her parents expectations – but when they insist on meeting him, she has to hire an actor to play the part. 

The Chicago Tribune calls the script “a light, sweet romantic comedy,” while the Sun Times remarks that it’s “Hilarious and quite moving…blend[ing] farce with a genuine insight.”

“Beau Jest” is set to open this Saturday the 24th at 8pm with a free champagne and wine reception for ticket holders. 

It is scheduled to run every weekend until its scheduled closing on Oct.  30th. 

Tickets can be reserved online or by calling the Box Office at 661-799-2702
