Boopsie’s Homecoming: A Hilarious Jamaican Theatre Experience Awaits

Get ready for a laughter-filled evening as prolific playwright Patrick Brown brings his latest comedy, Boopsie’s Homecoming, to life at the Courtleigh Auditorium this Boxing Day. Known for his knack for weaving humor with relatable themes, Brown takes us on a wild ride through the unexpected twists of Boopsie’s return to Jamaica after years abroad.

A Shocking Return

After “slaving in the freezer for eight years,” Boopsie, played by the talented Glen ‘Titus’ Campbell, makes an unannounced return to his homeland. His dreams of a beautiful mansion, built with the money he sent home to his wife Petal, come crashing down when he discovers an overgrown plot of land with just a few concrete blocks and rusty steel sticking out. “I thought I was coming home to paradise, not a construction site!” Boopsie exclaims, setting the stage for a whirlwind of comedic chaos.

Lies and Deception

What follows is a series of lies and misunderstandings that spiral out of control. Petal, played by the fresh faces Diandra Harrison and Renea Williams, finds herself in a tight spot, trying to keep Boopsie from discovering the truth. Her father, Papa (David Crossgill), and brother, Larry (Courtney Wilson), become unwilling accomplices in her web of deception. “It’s like a game of Jenga,” one audience member remarked. “One wrong move, and everything could come crashing down!”

The Comedy of Errors

As the tension builds, Boopsie’s frustration grows, leading to moments of hilarity that will have audiences rolling in their seats. Patrick Brown’s signature comedic style shines through, ensuring that every twist and turn is met with laughter. “You never know what’s coming next,” said a local theatre enthusiast. “It’s a rollercoaster of emotions!”

The Dream Team

Returning to the stage with Brown is the beloved Jambiz Krew, a group that has captured the hearts of Jamaican theatre-goers. With Glen ‘Titus’ Campbell in the lead role, the ensemble promises a night of unforgettable performances. “These actors have a chemistry that’s electric,” noted a long-time fan. “You can’t help but laugh along with them!”

A New Generation of Talent

Adding to the excitement are the two young actresses, Diandra Harrison and Renea Williams, who are making their mark in the local theatre scene. “We’re excited to see what they bring to the table,” said a local critic. “They’ve shown great promise in other productions, and now they’re stepping into the spotlight with the Jambiz Krew.”
