Three acting legends return to the stage where it all began. Frankie Hart, Eddie Ford, and Kay Byrd first lit up the historic Barton Playhouse three decades ago, and their journey has taken them from Topeka to the Poconos, dazzling audiences with everything from Shakespeare to side-splitting antics. Now, in Act Three of their lives, they’re back at the theatre that started it all, headlining the most successful residency in Barton Playhouse history with their hilarious act, “Frankie, Eddie, and Kay.” But amidst the laughter, cracks are beginning to show. Can they overcome the friction brewing behind the punchlines, or will their friendship implode? Dive into this uproarious and heartfelt exploration of aging, friendship, and the unexpected twists that come with returning home. Don’t miss the world premiere of Act Three at Tibbits—will their past bring them closer, or tear them apart once and for all?
