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.
