It’s back to the class room for Patrick Brown’s latest play featuring Oliver Samuels, the Caribbean’s King of Comedy, and a cast of talented actors, in Class of ’73, coming to Florida late June, early July.

Class of ’73 will play Tampa on Saturday, June 24, and Palm Beach on Sunday, June 25. They head to North Miami on Saturday, July 1 and close at Coral Springs on Sunday, July 2.

Imagine Oliver Samuels playing the role of a teacher - Mr. B. Pringle – saddled with a bunch of intellectually-challenged social rejects known as Grade 6Z.  Join these social misfits on a gut-busting, laugh-a-minute ride towards their unlikely graduation.

Writer Patrick Brown uses Class of ’73 to look at some of the challenges facing Jamaica’s education system.  But despite the inherent and obvious frailties, he shows the nation continues to beat the odds.  How? Come see what eventually happens to the Class of ’73.

The 1973 setting adds a touch of nostalgia to this unforgettable experience.  Picture Oliver Samuels in Jherri Curls and Bell-foot polyester pants “skanking” to the music of The Heptones, or Glen “Titus” Campbell & Company, sporting giant afros, doing the “S90 Skank.”  Need we say more?

Tickets will go on sale early June at selected Caribbean outlets.  Class of ’73 is presented by Riddims Marketing in association with Jamaica Awareness, Inc. and Jamaica National Money Transfer.  Class of ’73 is sponsored by Air Jamaica.
