LACONIA — The Laconia Putnam Program will present Frank Ferrante in "An Evening with Groucho" Friday, November 18 at 7 p.m. in the Laconia High School Auditorium. Admission is free.
Ferrante, who is "the greatest living interpreter of Groucho Marx’s material" according to the New York Times, has collaborated with Arthur Marx, to establish the Grouchoworld.com web site.
Marx and Ferrante developed the New York and London stage hit "Groucho: A Life in Revue." Marx served as playwright and Ferrante as lead actor and, subsequently, director of the piece. 'Groucho' debuted off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in 1986 and ran 254 performances. In London, the show was nominated for three Laurence Olivier Awards.
They recently re-teamed to produce 'Groucho' as a PBS national pledge program.
Their newest work "Arthur Marx's Groucho: A Photographic Journey," is a labor of love featuring commentary and unpublished photos of the Marx family by Arthur Marx
