Share this event:

In 1979, frustrated with the lack of serious roles being offered him, Paul Lynde abruptly quit Hollywood Squares while his personal life spiraled out of control. Zany Hijinx presents an intimate peek at the beloved Center Square and ponders what brought him to this point and what could redeem him? Best known for his quick-witted comebacks on Hollywood Squares and as Uncle Arthur from Bewitched, Paul was his own biggest critic and was never satisfied with his career or personal life.

Zany Hijinx - comprised of Lisa Boucher Hartman (Portland) Gene Dante (Boston) - is the production company behind the recent New England Tour of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Written by Gene Dante and Lisa Boucher Hartman
