‘I take this man’
GILROY – Pintello Comedy Theater will present “I Take This Man” on Friday and Saturday nights May 30 through June 28.
“I Take This Man” stars Kirsten Francis Carr as Giddy Hollis who finds an unconscious man (Jayson Stebbins) at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and takes him home – to marry. Her roommates (Whitney Pintello McClelland and Steve Beck) can’t seem to discourage Giddy’s romantic imagination. The neighborhood policeman (Gary Glasspool) is trying to help, but soon everyone is confused. The starry-eyed Giddy may be headed for trouble or triumph, but there are plenty of laughs along the way. The theater is located at 8531 Church St. Tickets cost $15 each. Details: 776-8004 or by
