‘Southern Fried Funeral’ opens this Friday evening with free champagne and wine reception for ticket holders.

Originally from New York City, Brad Sergi heads this production of ‘Southern Fried Funeral’ as the director of an undeniably hilarious cast, officials said. 

Sergi is well established here in Newhall, having worked on a multitude of productions at both CTG and The Rep – where he directed a sizzling production of Tennessee William’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, officials said. 

He also has an extensive history as a multi- hyphenate creative in Hollywood, having shared the screen with Robert Duvall in The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper. He has also appeared in hit network TV shows, including NBC’s E.R. and Disney Channel’s The Suite Life on Deck.

Now Sergi is helming one of CTG’s newest productions, which is sure to be full of non-stop laughs. 

The Frye family reunites when Dewey Frye dies and the rest of his family is left to pick up the pieces, that is if they don’t kill each other first. 

Not only does matriarch Dorothy have to contend with sudden widowhood, but she’s also faced with harpy Ozella Meeks sticking her nose in the family business, Dewey’s snake-in-the-grass brother making a grab for her house, and two grown daughters reliving their childhood rivalry. 

Funerals bring out the worst, the best,  and the funniest in people, and the Frye family is no exception.

It’s a big-hearted comedy about family, Southern-style.

Southern Fried Funeral opens this Friday the 23rd at 8:00 p.m. with a free champagne and wine reception for ticket holders. 

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

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