Press Release: Brittany Loves Lucy at Cotuit Center for the Arts

Cotuit Center for the Arts presents “Brittany Loves Lucy” in the Black Box Theater July 11 to 28. Performances are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 4 PM.

“Brittany Loves Lucy” is a homemade, one-woman spectacular. Brittany Halls takes on every character and every line of I Love Lucy's infamous "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" episode in which Lucy finagles her way onto Ricky's television show and has too many spoonfuls of the alcohol-filled Vitameatavegamin.

With a few simple set pieces and props, the world of “I Love Lucy” is recreated, reminding us all that comedy is timeless.

Brittany Halls is a New York-based actor and improviser who hails from Boston.

“Lucy Does a TV Commercial” aired in May 1952 and is considered the most famous episode of “I Love Lucy,” ranking number 2 in TV Guide’s “100 Greatest Episodes of All Time in 1997, and number 4 on the 2009 list.

Tickets are $20, $15 for members. For more information, and to purchase tickets, visit www.artsonthecape.org, or call 508-428-0669. Cotuit Center for the Arts is at 4404 Route 28 in Cotuit.
