The Pink Panther Strikes Again! in Cary

CARY , NC – The Pink Panther is ready to solve his most dangerous case beginning this weekend, when Applause! Cary Youth Theatre presents its spring production, The Pink Panther Strikes Again!, at the Sertoma Amphitheatre at Bond Park, 801 High House Road in Cary .  Shows will be held Friday-Saturday, May 5-6 and May 12-13 beginning at 7:30 p.m. nightly.  Tickets are $10 (adults), $8 (students), and $5 (children 5 and under); tickets are available at the Herbert C.

“We’re looking forward to another stupendous production,” said Rachel Green, Cary ’s Youth Theatre Coordinator.  “Each year, these shows give our young performers the opportunity to develop their skills and interests while helping build their confidence.”  Green added that performers, designers and stagehands ages 10-18 will showcase their talents as part of the show.

Based on the film by Blake Edwards and Frank Waldman, the play presents Jacques Clouseau, the world’s most unusual criminologist, as he fumbles his way through the most dangerous case of his successful, yet clumsy career.
