Upcoming Production

Vera, Chuck and Dave by Greg Jones Ellis -- Directed by Darren McGregor

Three survivors of decades in show business are auditioning for the same tiny part.  As they wait—and wait—to be seen, they entertain themselves by reenacting their best and worst show biz moments.  Theatrical “war stories” come to hilarious life and lead to new beginnings for these battle-scarred troupers.

Cast:

  • Vera – Joan D’Adamo
  • Chuck – Jim Hart
  • Dave – Mitch Fishbein
